Review Quotes: ★ "A sweet portrait of parental love, notable for its depiction of a two-mom family . . . Plenty of need for this warm hug of a book." --Kirkus, starred review

"Manushkin's hopeful lines emphasize both a feeling of abundance and a connection to the natural world . . . Cozy illustrations lend a classic sensibility to this incidentally inclusive bedtime tale for the youngest readers." --Publishers Weekly

"Alizadeh's pencil and digital illustrations are vivid and inviting . . . Manushkin's text imitates the nonsensical patter of a parent to a toddler . . . Alizadeh's loving illustrations of an interracial, two-mom family will fill a gap in most collections and circulate well in collections serving bikeable urban neighborhoods." --School Library Journal

"Children will delight in the feeling of wonder brought out by Alizadeh's cozy illustrations, and at the same time, be lulled by the hypnotic verse." --Booklist
