REVIEWS & PRESS

“The narrative arc and STEM concepts are integrated effectively, with scientific thinking and problem-solving helping to propel the story . . . This layered story plants seeds of learning about nature, the scientific method, and emotional resilience.” – Kirkus Reviews

“Cut-out paper figures, portrayed with various abilities and skin tones, are placed against brightly colored backgrounds that give the pages a handmade, childlike feel in a story whose narrative pivot leaves room for readers to make hypotheses of their own.”- Publishers Weekly
