“An absolute treasure for anyone who has ever moved.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“An affecting story about loss and starting over.” —The Horn Book, starred review
“An emotionally resonant picture book.” —Booklist, starred review
“This powerfully relevant, moving portrayal of a loving single-parent family during a period of unexpected change and transition is a must-have.” —School Library Journal, starred review
“The Blue House is an immensely satisfying picture book about a family acclimating to a big change.” —BookPage
“This is a picture book that rewards repeat readings and will doubtlessly stay in readers’ memories.” –The Horn Book
