Reviews
Booklist
“Children will feel the excitement from their first glance at the energetic jacket, which shows an African American family, all ages and hues, laughing and loving being together. Monk keeps the interest level high by ending the text on the introductory spreads with ellipses, an intriguing way to get kids to turn the page. Porter’s robust, bodly colored art is just right for a story so full of emotion and movement.”
