Critics Review
Grossman’s text, translated from the Hebrew by Jessica Cohen, is gentle, straightforward and lovely. Ninamasina’s illustrations, full of inky washes, are lovely, too … young readers will appreciate a book that honors their concerns about the physicality of age. I wish I had had something like this when I was fascinated and frightened by the veins on my grandmother’s hands. * New York Times *
