Warm and Fuzzy

“Rothman’s latest picture book gives new meaning to the common phrase warm and fuzzy. . . . The soft, rounded art style creates a gentle atmosphere amplified by warm light and the earthy hues encountered on their journey. A fun and helpful read about overcoming anxieties that doesn’t hit too close to home.” —STARRED REVIEW, Booklist

“With themes of coping with anxiety, choosing to venture out even when it’s scary, and finding wonderment in every day events, Rothman’s book is a near ideal read-aloud for children.” —School Library Journal

“Warmly lit digital artwork by Won, with characters rendered in soft textures of colored pencil hatching, visualizes how getting out of one’s comfort zone can be liberating and fun.” —Publishers Weekly

“Won’s art, rendered digitally in a palette of soft greens, browns, and purples, is reminiscent of colored-pencil drawings; orange and yellow pastel hues create stunning sunrise and sunset skies. This one will soothe young worrywarts and empower their caregivers.” —The Horn Book
