Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

“Kitamura matches his quiet story of imagination and empowerment with soft watercolor illustrations that teem with fascinating urban detail. Decked out in a bright-yellow slicker and boots, Millie’s small cheery figure easily stands out amid crowded streets and parks, but it’s her fantastical hats that command center-page attention. A real charmer.”
Kirkus Reviews

Publishers Weekly

“Whimsy drives both the text and airy watercolor art of Kitamura’s (The Young Inferno) story of a girl with a creative and colorful imagination. . . A cheerful tribute to a determined and optimistic imagination.”
