Review Quotes: The story's sweet and encouraging message of self-acceptance ultimately comes through clearly thanks to Horácek's illustrations. . . .A colorful statement on the power of difference and friendship.
--Kirkus Reviews

Horácek's artwork is genuinely spectacular. . . . A visually striking and well-intentioned story about acceptance and diversity, with a quiet affirmation of friendship at its heart. A solid addition to collections exploring identity, emotions, and belonging.
