Best of 2021: Our Favorite Picture Books and A Best Picture Book of 2021 for Starting Conversations — Kirkus Reviews
“Masterful….encompasses so many themes and is so well-written that sharing it with readers is highly recommended. A story to ponder and illustrations to consider again and again… thoroughly satisfying … on all levels.” — School Library Connections
“A profound, optimistic story of dealing with hardship….simultaneously paints a picture of suffering, family conflict, and the power of apology….a must-read.” — Books to Borrow, Books to Buy, syndicated column

“The Longest Storm will pull at your heart, but remind you of how far we’ve come….this book is a metaphor for any time we are having a hard time finding a balance….For any house, school or library that wants a gentle way to discuss how being together for an unforeseen amount of time can be hard, but in this book, like any storm, will be light at the end.” – Storymamas
“I love the underlying themes of grief and trauma, loneliness, and the healing power of apology. There is just no other book like this out there.” —Bilingual Mingle
“Yaccarino’s masterful illustration skills take center stage in this metaphorical picture book about loss and trauma…..could be read aloud to stimulate discussion about the normal process of navigating human relations.” — Youth Services Book Review
