Critics Review

“An effective read-aloud just right for little listeners.”
Kirkus ReviewsKirkus
“This is a picture book tailor-made for storytime: Weatherford’s succinct first-person text makes great use of repetition, as well as end rhymes that beg for children’s voices to complete… Celebratory and, yes, moving.”
–Horn BookHorn
