To Allen’s credit, the story covers potentially toxic elements with grace, humor, and maturity, never getting bogged down or growing maudlin. Instead, it stays firmly rooted in the gentle affection among the characters and their sturdy humanity, which never falters.
This fun and efficient read pairs excellent cartoon illustrations with simple text for a splendid retelling of a classic fable. Great for storytime or individual sharing or as a catalyst for discussion about perspective and point of view.
This book will find an eager audience with readers of all ages. A first purchase for picture book collections.
An important book that demands to be seen. It adds to the conversation of #OwnVoices and speaks to a young person’s need for expression and social justice.
