Review Quotes:
"Ashman and Chou look at some simple ways to say, 'Hello, friend. / I'm glad you're here, ' with acts of kindness and friendly gestures . . . Simple, stylized artwork in bright shades keep the focus on the interactions, and readers will delight in finding the blue butterfly in every scene. A springboard for readers to consider their own ways to welcome." --Kirkus Reviews
