Praise
Rosen’s short, matter-of-fact sentences echo his step-by-step progress; Ross’ energetic, limber cartoon illustrations add humor as Rosen careens haphazardly through hospital hallways in a wheelchair and tenderness as Rosen walks unaided to meet his son’s family in the park. . . . A reassuring tale of patience and persistence that will especially resonate with kids recovering from injuries or illnesses.
—Kirkus Reviews
Rosen taps into a well of feeling that anyone trying to get better after a long illness (or knowing someone who is) will share. . . . A personal story, but a timely one that offers a hopeful model of recovery from serious illness.
