PRAISE FOR The Blue House

"Wahl makes both characters distinctive and sympathetic, and devotes loving attention to every spread." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"An absolute treasure for anyone who has ever moved." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"An affecting story about loss and starting over." --The Horn Book, starred review

"An emotionally resonant picture book." --Booklist, starred review

"This powerfully relevant, moving portrayal of a loving single-parent family during a period of unexpected change and transition is a must-have." --School Library Journal, starred review

"The Blue House is an immensely satisfying picture book about a family acclimating to a big change." --BookPage

"This is a picture book that rewards repeat readings and will doubtlessly stay in readers' memories." --The Horn Book

"Refreshing. . . . This is a pragmatic alternative to Virginia Lee Burton's The Little House, and kids will be glad to see that Leo and his dad negotiate their changing neighborhood. Make sure audiences get a look at opening and closing endpapers to see where Leo's move took him." --The Bulletin
