“As in Zia and Coleman’s previous book, Lali’s Feather (2020), the text has a playful lyricism driven by clever use of onomatopoeia accompanied by warm, appealing illustrations.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Zia’s zesty text uses strategic repetition, bouncy rhythms, and entertaining onomatopoeia to create a spirited tale with broad read-aloud appeal. Coleman’s digital illustrations employ spare backgrounds combined with a bright color palette comprised of oranges, pinks, and greens to keep young readers focused on the action and Lali’s boundless energy.”—The Bulletin for the Center of Children’s Books
