★"Also is sure to prompt conversations about meaningful memories between adult readers and young listeners, while its subtext--that people and places we love are always with us in our hearts--offers quiet comfort to children experiencing loss. Also is a colorful portrait of three generations of mothers and daughters and the bonds they share." -- BookPage (starred review)

"Goodale presents a gentle rumination on space and time, memory, and the enduring love of family." -- Horn Book Magazine

"A simple but profound meditation on memory and its power to foster continuity and connectedness." -- Kirkus Reviews

"This book looks at the interplay of experience and memory in our minds. The text is succinct and matter-of-fact, while the illustrations, created using monotype, gouache, and blueberry ink, imaginatively depict present and past events ... with the present in full color and the past in ... shades of purple."
