Praise for THE DEEP & DARK BLUE by Niki Smith: "Grayce's coming-out subplot is affirming; she is met with love and support by old family and new. Woven with magic." Kirkus Reviews(starred review) Praise for THE DEEP & DARK BLUE by Niki Smith:"Children figuring out where they fit in will appreciate this stunning work that does double duty as an absorbing adventure and a gentle musing on gender identity, family, and acceptance." School Library Journal (starred review) Praise for THE DEEP & DARK BLUE by Niki Smith: "[C]apable worldbuilding and a positive look at transgender identity [...] Smith's anime-inspired illustrations are smooth and beautifully costumed, with an open, cartoon expressiveness." Publishers Weekly Praise for BLOOM by Kevin Panetta: "Panetta and Ganucheau's graphic novel debut is as much a love story between people as it is with the act of baking. Ganucheau's art, in black ink with varying shades of blue, mixes traditional paneling with beautiful double-page spreads of detailed baking scenes, where the panels sometimes take on the shape of braided loaves...A tender blend of sugary, buttery, and other complex flavors that's baked with a tremendous dash of heart." Kirkus Reviews(starred review) Praise for BLOOM by Kevin Panetta: "Beautiful artwork depicts characters coping with lifes increasing responsibilities and is especially sumptuous when focusing on the yummy desserts. This is both a delicious foray into the world of baking and young love and an endearing, realistic tale of two teens helping one another grow. A fresh take on the coming-of-age story that spotlights the triumphs and travails of young people." School Library Journal (starred review) Praise for BLOOM by Kevin Panetta: "A quiet, earnest romance with warmth and depth." Booklist
