"The author exposes unspoken depths that make up the parent-child bond, offering nuance and complexity in measured words. Full of simple, curved shapes set in evocative alignments, Pizzoli´s illustrations complement the story well.... equal parts wistful and uplifting-a small triumph." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
