“There’s room enough for every reader—and every hue—in this charming ode to creativity.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“A solid purchase, this is an endearing and visually engaging look at childhood creativity.”
—School Library Journal

“Collaborators Martinez-Neal and Idle (I Don’t Care), both Caldecott Honorees, let their co-creative chemistry loose on these kraft-paper-colored pages, using a palette of eye-popping neons and saturated brights that evokes the irresistible promise of a fresh bucket of sidewalk chalk. . . . It’s an artful team effort about team efforts.”
—Publishers Weekly

“Set against a textured brown background, vibrant hues fill graphite outlines embellished with smudged textures. With hints of cut paper edges, the art’s two-dimensional vibe manifests a spacious world of endless possibility. Enhanced by creator bios and dialogue, this imaginative long-form book offers ample space for playful visuals to stretch out within a familiar narrative, yielding an affirming celebration of creative collaboration.”
