Critics Review
“The alliterative, rhythmic text makes for an ideal read-aloud…Characters’ matter-of-fact attitude toward Sonia’s deafness is refreshing, and Chen, herself deaf, clearly depicts their American Sign Language signs in sunny, expressive cartoon illustrations. A warm, inclusive take on friendship and conflict resolution.” – Kirkus Reviews
