"* ""A winsome piece of industry, charmingly told, and perfect for reading aloud. Tesfay's illustrations simply vibrate with color, movement, and details for children to pore over. VERDICT A glorious, too-brief glimpse of Ethiopia for elementary-age children, this will send them off to do further research on textiles and cultures."" --School Library Journal"
