“Dion Graham’s confident, enthusiastic narration powerfully depicts a young African-American boy who is beginning to identify who he is in the world. Quincy Tyler Bernstine adds a dynamic array of female voices. No detail is overlooked in this production…. Realistic sound effects link the audio to the pictures and reflect the story’s urban setting.”-AudioFile
