Booklist
“Newman’s gentle, empathetic story warmly addresses the difficulties faced by kids saddled with unusual names.” — Booklist Online
School Library Journal
“Many Jewish children are curious about the origin of their names, and wonder why they are unusual or old fashioned. Newman’s clear and rich narrative explains the custom with warmth and appreciation for tradition.” — School Library Journal
