Reviews

"Their faces are expressive; Panczyszyn deftly portrays Squirrel's progression from anxiety to panic to an eruption of frustration and anger. The illustrations are largely set against white backdrops, with little detail, though the book has plenty to spark conversations among young readers about emotions, friendships, and self-improvement. A relatable way to help little ones confront big feelings."--Kirkus

"Children will delight in being on the inside of the joke from the moment that the drama is revealed: the pink and blue lollipop is as large as Squirrel's tail and is visible in every panel." --School Library Journal
