Reviews
"Vibrant. . . If a school pep rally could walk and talk, this kid would be it." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"The electric hues, constant motion, and winning smiles that fill Morrison's oil paintings enhance the boundless vitality of this sensory celebration of school." --Publishers Weekly "This joyful offering will be a happy addition to any shelf." --Booklist "Christmas spirit is expressed in joyous and reflective onomatopoeic exclamations in this new holiday staple. . . . Soul-stirring and sure to put readers in a festive mood." --Kirkus Reviews on I GOT THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT "Morrison's oil paintings capture the crackling energy of a city preparing for Christmas; the married coauthors' message about cultivating kindness, gratitude, and community the whole year through sings on the page." --Publishers Weekly on I GOT THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT "Schofield-Morrison's onomatopoeia-inflected text and Morrison's kinetic, zoomed-in oil paintings enliven various iterations of experiencing 'the spirit' . . . An energetic and uplifting celebration of the season." --Horn Book Magazine on I GOT THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT "The driving beat of debut author Schofield-Morrison's narrative is likely to have readers bouncing and tapping right along with her . . . An upbeat celebration of the senses, self-expression, and camaraderie." --Publishers Weekly on I GOT THE RHYTHM "The bright palette and vibrant tones of Morrison's loosely painted illustrations echo the energy of the text nicely . . . the book begs readers to sing and move along with this little dancer." --Booklist on I GOT THE RHYTHM "For a storytime that will get bodies rocking, fingers popping, and rhythm flowing." --Library Media Connection on I GOT THE RHYTHM "Ready made for storytime, Schofield-Morrison's text pulses with a beat of its own and practically demands audiences to clap along. . . . The urban setting and varied cast of characters make this title particularly valuable, showcasing diversity as an integral part of everyday life." --School Library Journal on I GOT THE RHYTHM
