-Starred review by Kirkus reviews
Co-creator Na meticulously heightens Lim's narrative with especially affecting whimsical details. Throughout, Na adds special somethings beyond the text: a birthday cake, Plumee's remarkable transformations, the child's artistic memorial.
-Starred review by Shelf Awareness
Themes of resilience, hope, and vulnerability run through Lim’s simple and poetic text. Na’s illustrations help build empathy.
