Genre:

  • "This narrative that muses about individuality, accepting others, and remaining close to friends is soothing and poetic, with words and phrases used repetitiously throughout."
    Kirkus Reviews
  • "Two young children, a white boy and a girl of color, describe the qualities that make each of them unique and the friendship that binds them... The illustrations are lovely and move from the stage scenes to spreads depicting the children's fantastical journeys."
    School Library Journal
  • "The soothing, incantatory words repeat sentiments that are not new, but messages about unconditional love bear repeating, especially at the end of a long day."
