Ama's Purse

Heartfelt and visually pleasing, this is an essential addition to picture book collections.” —School Library Journal, starred review

★”Realistic, largely full-bleed art gives a reportorial feel to digitally rendered road trip scenes, while soft-edged, rainbow-tinged clouds usher in the feel of the child and grandparent’s gentle interactions. The animated pair’s enthusiastic care for each other offers a winning portrait of both backseat travel and intergenerational closeness.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review


“Deamy pastel illustrations enhance the sense of marvel inspired by the contents of Ama’s purse. The result is a heartwarming, multigenerational celebration of family and memories.” —Booklist
