What's the Matter, Marlo? is a touching story that pulls on your heartstrings. - Dan Santat, author of The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend Distinguished by its trust in readers to discover key parts of the narrative through the illustrations and to contemplate the full meaning of the events and emotions. - Hornbook
