Critics Review
“Straightforward, companionable narration fluently interweaves Hebrew and Yiddish vocabulary, and flattened ink drawings, softly colored with digital markers, have an everyday quality.” —Publishers Weekly
“Gehl’s lively text evokes an intergenerational relationship characterized by trust, joy, and tenderness. Rich with background details, Baker’s lovely, soft-hued illustrations depict a fully realized urban landscape, populated by a diverse community. Sure to have readers verklempt.” —Kirkus
“A touching testimony to the power of maternal relationships and community. Highly recommended.”—School Library Journal, starred review
