Reviews

. . . In Cts charmingly loose crayon-and-watercolor illustrations, Nonis anxiety shows in her pink-cheeked face as she thinks about everything that could go wrong.
The New York Times

Cts gentle watercolors capture Nonis emotional experience. Softly lavender, monochrome illustrations depict Nonis previous reasons for being nervous, all made right in her mothers arms. A charming, seemingly simple book that gets right to the heart of the matter.
Kirkus Reviews

The text is clarity itself, while Cots rough, splotchy watercolors elicit plenty of emotion from a minimum of strokes. For fearful first-timers, this strikes just the right note of reassurance.
