Publishers Weekly Most Anticipated Children's Books of Fall 2019 A Fall 2019 Kids' Indie Next List ⭐ "Perfection." —School Library Journal ⭐ "How wonderful: a book with both racial diversity and class diversity that feels authentic. Special and splendid." —Kirkus Reviews ⭐ "The family handles the stress of dashed expectations in a way that acknowledges disappointment while conveying the buoyancy of resilience and the joy of their bond. And a delightful coda may inspire readers to share the inventive way they salvage their day." —Publishers Weekly ⭐ "The simple yet heartfelt story tugs at the emotions, but it's the paper collage artwork that really packs a punch. Created with acrylic paints, china markers, patterned paper, and print clippings, the bright illustrations are inventively conceived and full of motion-just the right vehicle for bringing this Black mother-daughter duo to vibrant life." —Booklist ⭐ "This simple, well-crafted tale holds universal lessons for children and adults alike." —The Horn Book ⭐ "A bighearted ode to parent-child bonding." —BookPage
