Reviews
★ "[T]his buoyant picture book spotlights how, 'with love and adaptation . . . we play!' Slice and Cupp utilize rhyming couplets on each spread to show play in inter-abled relationships." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Slice and Cupp, themselves disabled, realistically acknowledge challenges while keeping an upbeat, reassuring tone . . . Harren's detailed portrayals of myriad physical, sensory, and developmental conditions warmly embrace disability's broad spectrum, and characters' faces radiate love and enthusiasm . . . A wonderfully inclusive celebration of disability and family." --Kirkus

"[A] joyful and empowering exploration of families at play . . . [Harren's illustrations] are balanced between bold foregrounds and muted backgrounds, creating very inviting pages to explore beyond the relation to the text. A must purchase for all libraries to fill much needed positive disability representation in picture books." --School Library Journal
