Critics Review
“A sweet portrait of parental love, notable for its depiction of a two-mom family … Plenty of need for this warm hug of a book.” – Kirkus , starred review
A sweet portrait of parental love, notable for its depiction of a two-mom family … Plenty of need for this warm hug of a book. –Kirkus, starred review Manushkin’s hopeful lines emphasize both a feeling of abundance and a connection to the natural world … Cozy illustrations lend a classic sensibility to this incidentally inclusive bedtime tale for the youngest readers. –Publishers WeeklyAlizadeh’s pencil and digital illustrations are vivid and inviting … Manushkin’s text imitates the nonsensical patter of a parent to a toddler … Alizadeh’s loving illustrations of an interracial, two-mom family will fill a gap in most collections and circulate well in collections serving bikeable urban neighborhoods. –School Library JournalChildren will delight in the feeling of wonder brought out by Alizadeh’s cozy illustrations, and at the same time, be lulled by the hypnotic verse. –Booklist
