Critics Review
“A fresh and funny take on an old moral.” —Kirkus Reviews“Both Maynor’s dialogue text and Juanita’s digital art have a loose, improvisational feel that captures the thrill and frustration of a work in progress—and the value of empathy and flexibility in getting to know others.” —Publishers Weekly“Use this to open a discussion on using words rather than assumptions, or as an introduction to the way art can go in unexpected directions.” —The Bulletin“This bighearted picture book delivers a worthwhile message with humor and great respect for young readers.” —The Horn Book
