Review Quotes: "Macias depicts a boisterous yet empathetic South Asian family whose love for one another is palpable as they give their littlest space to deal with big feelings . . . Joshi's illustrations, rendered in bright saturated primary colors, are filled with movement and energy, balancing joyful scenes of reunion with Nisha's need for space and quiet. A thoughtful and tender primer on bodily autonomy." --Kirkus

"Heartfelt and empowering...The vibrant illustrations mirror the warm love of the family; the expressive colors of Nisha's paintings convey her feelings... A timely, tender celebration of emotional intelligence, cultural connection, and the importance of consent." -Booklist
