★ “[A] frolicsome picture book variation on a common summer diversion . . . novel details incorporate a sense of whimsy . . . As spare narration combines with occasional utterances from daintily rendered figures, who read as East Asian, much of the story’s action unfolds near wordlessly across carefully shaded colored pencil drawings in comics-like panels. The result is a deliciously sensorial portrait of swimming as a refreshing summertime treat.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
★ “Bonsoir Lune presents irresistibly immersive spreads rife with whimsical details . . . Lune’s simple narrative, translated by bestselling Korean American author Cha, is energetically punctuated with onomatopoeic pit pats, AAAAs, PLOPs, THUNKs, oomphs, and even musical notes . . . Vivacious delight exudes from every page as young and old savor the refreshing rewards of summer.” —Kirkus, starred review
