Review Quotes: "Dot's path to finding confidence and appreciating what matters will likely strike a chord, uplift, and reassure."--Booklist

"An sweet narrative promoting resilience and embracing imperfection, this is an amiable addition to the shelves."--School Library Journal

"First-person narration effectively conveys a child's insecurities, and it deftly explores the mutual admiration in young friendships to reinforce both stick-to-itiveness and embracing imperfections. Yum's colored pencil linework, saturated waxy textures, and expressive rounded style on negative space all carry the same airy, playful energy as the book's indomitable protagonist."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"This second book about Dot gives the realistic-seeming child plenty of support from nonjudgmental adults, providing time and space to solve her own problems--and without the pressure of perfection."--The Horn Book

"Kids struggling with perfectionism will learn a valuable lesson."--Kirkus Reviews
