"Both English and Spanish texts of this title convey a calm, peaceful tone, especially with the depiction of an experience that would be stressful for a family, and particularly for children. Maribel looks on the bright side and reminds readers that nothing lasts forever. VERDICT Both editions are excellent choices for picture book collections." -- School Library Journal
"This story about temporary situations makes for a book that is likely to resonate for a long time." -- Kirkus Reviews
"In this warmhearted debut from Orozco Belt, though living at their relatives' bustling home isn't easy, having cousins around means that there's always a playmate. Sánchez Ayala's illustrations emphasize this optimistic perspective, centering fond moments and hopes for the family's future." -- Publishers Weekly
"Little readers will be absorbed in the lively, richly colored illustrations, which are reminiscent of Joe Cepeda's artwork and feature thoughtful cultural details. The book's creators handle a challenging but not uncommon life event with care, especting Maribel's mixed feelings while retaining a hopeful outlook." -- ALA Booklist
