*School Library Journal, starred review*
Her freewheeling ink-and-watercolor illustrations are delightful,
and it's obvious from the knowing text that she has listened to
conversations between kids. Stella and Sam, so different, relish
their respective roles and obviously love one another; they always
seem to find something to share in their circumscribed but
ever-intriguing world.
