★★★THE REVIEWS ARE IN!★★★

★ “With a vivid color palette, Parra’s acrylic and digital illustrations bring warmth and brightness to Genhart’s story, which smoothly incorporates Spanish words and phrases within the text.”—The Horn Book, Starred Review

★  “A measured reckoning with an oft-overlooked period in U.S. history, Genhart and Parra’s poignant collaboration explores the echoes of generational trauma and the power of societal change and hope. . . .  The splendid, textured acrylic-based artwork is rich and vibrant. . . . Tenderly tremendous.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

★ “Genhart’s moving picture book tugs at heartstrings. . . . evokes deep feelings of joy and pride in cultural and linguistic heritage. Parra’s visually striking artwork uses bold colors and lines to create a backdrop full of visual context clues and cultural representation.”—Booklist, Starred Review
