* "A gorgeous picture book celebrating tradition, family, and memories. Highly recommended for school and public libraries."--SLJ, starred review
"Highlighting seasonal cycles and the natural passage of time, it's a lushly told story that emphasizes the role of the past in the present and future." --Publishers Weekly
"Kemp movingly uses the setting of Abuela's flower garden to encourage young readers to explore their roots and who they might want to be....A warm meditation on family, perfect for sharing with a grandparent."
--Booklist
"Kemp smoothly melds the corporeal with the intangible, lingering over the physical sensations of brushing past flowers, smelling their scent...Chavarri's use of vivid watercolors in hazy, dream-like brushstrokes adds to the wistful warmth and movement of the story."--BCCB
