"A warm, appealing snapshot of this environmental activist." --Publishers Weekly

"A gentle introduction to environmental activism for the very young." --Kirkus Reviews

"There is considerable usage potential here, from art projects to classroom community projects to diversity awareness projects. . . . There's also plenty of pleasure to be found just in sharing the thoughtful story and perusing the artwork." --BCCB on Same, Same But Different

"Young readers will close the book longing to have a friend from another place; for schools with global partnerships, this will be a go-to book for introducing these projects to classrooms." --The Horn Book Magazine on Same, Same But Different
