Praise
“Bright digital illustrations, paired with exuberant, onomatopoeia-filled text, depict a loving and tight-knit Black family…Big responsibilities and small gestures paint a thoughtful picture of masculinity.”—Kirkus
“Well paced and engaging for young kids, and the colorful illustrations sensitively portray the characters’ emotions through body language and facial expressions. A rewarding picture book.” –Booklist
“Johnson (Twins) and Brown (Bros) encapsulate the tension of being both a young child and an older sibling in this well-intentioned story about family responsibility.” –Publishers Weekly
”With a narrative focus on responsibility and a story emphasizing familial love, this book is suitable for all readers but targeted to those experiencing a similar change in the family unit with a new addition.” –School Library Journal
