Reviews

**STARRED REVIEW**
"This quietly beautiful celebration of childhood will appeal to a wide range of young readers and may inspire dialogue about constructive disagreement and respecting differences."

* School Library Journal *
Few picture-book authors have Ashmans gift for writing rhymed verse with a natural cadence and an easygoing style. Appearing in speech balloons, the childrens comments reflect individual preferences rather than gender stereotyping. Coys bright, buoyant illustrations, created with watercolors, aquarelle crayons, and colored pencils, capture the many moods of children at play. * Booklist *
