“Thinking, imagining, noticing—these, Tamaki suggests, are the tools we have to understand our world.”— Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
“Attuned to a child’s psychology and patterns of critical thinking, this visually stunning work is a must-purchase for libraries.” — School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW
“Best of all, Tamaki creates a protagonist with autonomy as we see the child move from received knowledge to confidence in her own perceptions: ‘They say the sea is blue. But when I hold the water in my hands, it’s as clear as glass.'” –Quill & Quire, STARRED REVIEW
