Praise for Love Like Sky:
*“Youngblood’s debut is a celebration of intergenerational family bonds. Readers in co-parenting or blended families especially will relate to the conflicts between Georgie’s loving but imperfect parents. An openhearted, endearing, and unforgettable debut about the challenges of friendship, growing up, and the boundless love of family.”–Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Brims with charm and compassion. Readers will immediately be rooting for G-Baby, a girl with the biggest heart, trying her hardest to help everyone around her.”–Vashti Harrison, New York Times best-selling author of Little Leaders
“Readers will fall in love with Georgie and her ‘blended-up’ family as they navigate tough challenges and new family dynamics.”–School Library Journal
“Using beautiful prose, Youngblood’s debut explores the expansive love only siblings can have for one another, while capturing the heart and soul of what it means to be a blended family. The multilayered characters and compelling story will resonate with readers… Young readers will fall in love with these characters and gain a new favorite author.”–Booklist
