★ ""Westergaard’s highly dimensional collage work, patterned and embellished with block prints, brush pens, and colored pencil, leans into portraiture and stage scenes in this ode to a beloved figure—'our one and only/ Googoosh.'"" —Publishers Weekly, starred review ★ ""More than just a loving tribute to one particular singer, this is a rich concoction of immigrant yearning . . . A radiant love letter to a treasured artist—and to a long gone way of life."" —Kirkus Reviews, starred review ""This picture-book biography offers loving tribute, not only to Googoosh’s career but to pre-revolutionary Iran, as the author shares childhood memories of favorite foods, sights, and sounds, including dancing and singing with friends to Googoosh’s latest releases. This is a lovely celebration on an iconic performer."" —Booklist
