"Sandwiched between endpapers of yellow-lined paper showing the upper- and lowercase cursive alphabet, this quiet story shouts the pricelessness of literacy.(...) A marvelous tale of one girls passion for reading, writing, and learning." ~ Kirkus Starred Review
Best Educational Children's Picture Book- Spanish Language Category at the International Latino Book Awards
() Younger children will likely relate to and enjoy Ayobamis perseverance to attend class. The framework of naming animals will also likely appeal to early elementary schoolaged children, particularly as they themselves are learning aboutand how to write the names ofvarious animals () A solid purchase for elementary school libraries. ~ School Library Journal
With the feel of an Aesops fable, this story is both empowering and reflective of the joy school can bring to children whose lives have been disrupted by war. Beautiful illustrations in graphite, watercolor, and colored pencil lend an ethereal, magical quality to this unnamed place, where dangerous creatures have endearing faces, and letters of the alphabet flutter around Ayobami like protective stardust. ~ Booklist
