Critics Review

Praise for Does Earth Feel? “Quietly engaging. Thought provoking.”

This flies high.” — Kirkus Reviews”The book subtly undercuts gender norms and acknowledges bullying; however, the boy exudes and is surrounded by so much beauty, including the loving support of his father, that this outshines any shadow cast by the children’s unkindness. A gorgeous story of being true to oneself that will brighten any shelf.” — Booklist (starred review)“A gorgeous story of being true to oneself that will brighten any shelf.” — Booklist (starred review)“A much-needed, heartwarming story of inclusivity.” — Jonathan Van Ness, author of Peanut Goes for the Gold and star of Netflix’s Queer Eye”Marc Majewski’s Butterfly Child is both lovely and incredibly moving.
