Critics Review
“Though the story thoughtfully tackles serious topics such as domestic violence and structural racism, Sunny’s hopeful perspective and commitment to community care enhance the swiftly paced narrative … Sunny’s journey is a celebration of the power of empathy, intergenerational friendships, and collective action.” – Horn Book Magazine
“There are plenty of humorous situations… The book uses its diverse cast to sensitively address poverty, community, racism, and autism. Sunny is a spunky young girl who finds the courage to stand up for what she believes in.” – Booklist
