"[A] nurturing look at the enduring love between a mother and her children." ""School Library Journal"""

 

* "Spinelli and Pham make beautiful music together, creating an unabashedly old-fashioned family fable that should leave readers of all ages snuggling a little closer to one another." ""Publishers Weekly," starred review""

 

* "Fun and memories mix here, delightfully demonstrating the old adage, there's no place like home." ""Booklist," starred review""

 

"While the empty-nest trope will appeal to adults more than kids, youngsters will understand both the love and the silliness of a family call...." ""The Bulletin"""
