"These stories make me weep with an intensity usually ascribed to
Greek tragedy or long distance commercials. My five-year-old loves
all of them, and the mistaken identity plot lines are central and
deep for her." --Rivka Galchen, Words without Borders
"Miyanishi's bold graphics are as saturated with color as the story
is with emotion; an abrupt and somber ending offers no easy answers
to Heart's questions." --Publishers Weekly
"Readers of all ages will be able to engage with this book with
varying degrees of insight. Beneath this deceptively simple tale of
ancient reptilian family life lies a story of surprising complexity
and contemporary relevance." --Kirkus Reviews starred review
