"Exuberant and loving; sure to incite giggles from kids and teary smiles from adults and possibly to unseat Oh, the Places You'll Go! as a perennial graduation gift." -- Kirkus Reviews

"With a cast that ranges across the span of childhood, this book seems destined to be given at milestone moments." -- Publishers Weekly

"An excellent choice for solo or group sharing and a natural for commemorating a graduation or other milestone." -- School Library Journal
