Reviews

"LaCour's new transitional chapter-book series is cozy and classic-feeling...Ella's curiosity and gregariousness are infectious, and she'll easily sweep readers into her charming world." -- Booklist


"Through Ella's infectious narration and the stories' loosely defined plots, LaCour sketches distinctive, endearing characters and offers a gentle celebration of intergenerational friendship and community." -- Publishers Weekly
"The author's foray into chapter books takes on lighter themes of time and its passing, family, community, inclusion, and the mindfulness of noticing things... a pleasant, inclusive story." -- School Library Journal
