Praise

Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Honor
Kirkus
 Best Children’s Book of 2020
2021 ALSC Notable Children’s Books List


★ “A thoroughly charming take on sibling relationships.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Tatsukawa puts a fresh spin on a familiar story . . . that any younger sibling should instantly recognize.” —Publishers Weekly

“Little ones with older siblings in particular will likely appreciate the boy’s gradually shifting perspective, as well as the warm portrayal of the multifaceted nature of sibling relationships.” —Booklist

“Tatsukawa’s digital art balances off-kilter geometry and soft textures, with our blackish, blockish bear lumbering around, appropriately dwarfing the brother . . . Younger siblings will find this a refreshing change from the many books portraying the new baby as the problematic interloper.” —BCCB

“For a debut title, this picture book is very well paced, and nicely emphasizes how even children at odds can connect . . . Simple and sweet. A story that should resonate with siblings.” —School Library Journal

“Younger sisters everywhere should relate to our protagonist’s point of view—and his eventual realization: if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.” —Horn Book
