“Artwork by D’Alessandro, making her picture book debut, shows the family and their apartment in clean lines and soft, cotton-candy colors. … In this story about a tight-knit urban community by Burgos (Ana María Reyes Does Not Live in a Castle), parents with small children and tough schedules know they can depend on their neighbors for help. —Publishers Weekly
“If you are looking for titles to enhance lessons about predictions, character point of view, or empathy building among the students, this is a strong contender.” —School Library Connection
“Emotionally honest, child-centered story illuminating an aspect of some working/working class families’ lives rarely seen in picture books while underscoring the power of empathy and compassion, and the importance of community.” – Cooperative Children’s Book Center
