Review Quotes: McNeill's softly hued, smudgy mixed-media illustrations, a combination of gouache, pencil, and cut paper, blend with Calmenson's plainspoken text for a straightforward yet sensitive exploration of a situation encountered by most kids . . . A quiet tale to spur useful conversation about blame, accountability, and apologies.--Kirkus "December 15, 2025"
