""Brightly colored, effervescent artwork perfectly matches Amoya's personality and adds exuberance to the well-written, non-pedantic text. The message of uninhibitedly sharing one's own light comes through clearly in this joy-filled book."" —School Library Journal ""A worthwhile, feel-good story of a girl whose intergenerational relationship makes all the difference."" —Kirkus Reviews ""Aaron Marin’s bold artwork, rendered in bright acrylic paint and collage, really support the story. . . . With its chunky font, diverse crew of schoolmates (including one boy in a wheelchair), dazzling artwork, and simple story arc, this one will work well as a read aloud."" —Youth Services Book Review
