Reviews

* "Hale perfectly captures the spontaneity and totality of a toddler's love, and the intimacy among family members is heartwarming and palpable. This is a loving, sensitive book to be shared and cherished." -- School Library Journal, starred review "[T]his sweet sequel to the wonderful, award-winning Elizabeti's Doll will hit a chord in any child who has had to care for a younger sibling." -- Kirkus Reviews "This book shares with its predecessor a resolutely childlike point of view and a matter-of-fact presentation of another culture (that of rural Tanzania)." -- The Horn Book "The community that surrounds the family is everpresent and add a layer of comfort to the overall story. This would make for a wonderful read-aloud...A realistic portrayal of familial bonds." -- School Library JournalBest Children's Books of the Year Outstanding - Bank Street College of Education
