Critics Review
“The familiar [school race] story is given particular freshness here by the wide range of abilities represented, from Bitsy’s neurodivergence to a raccoon pal using a wheelchair to Enzo’s communicating through a tablet and sign language. A breezy, straightforward storyline, simple sentence structure, and relatively accessible vocabulary make this an easy pick for early readers, and Enzo’s form of communication, represented in-text as pictures instead of words, adds an additional layer of literacy kids can interpret.” – BCCB
