Elbert in the Air

Praise

★ “A fun story with plenty of space left in it to apply it to nearly any discussion about celebrating who you are, especially if you feel different. And don’t we all? …Featuring the unconditional, iridescent love of a caregiver and Elbert’s own stoic nature, this is a stellar purchase for every picture book collection.” –School Library Journal, starred review

“A transcendent journey for families seeking affirming representations of those who march to their own beats.” –Kirkus

“A unique and uplifting celebration of individuality and unconditional love.” –The Horn Book

“A warming story of loving someone just the way they are.” –PW

“The ending… underscores a dilemma faced by any minority group: how do you bond with those who share your experience without the majority characterizing you as other? It’s an ending that could certainly spark some guided conversation, but readers can also just appreciate Elbert’s consistently compassionate mother and his new group of friends.” –BCCB
