"Lilly is one of the great female characters in literature-like Anna Karenina with whiskers or Scarlett O'Hara with paws." -- USA Today "Caldecott Award winner Kevin Henkes once again demonstrates perfect pitch for the emotional lives of the very young. Lilly, of course, understands the true truth: the flower girl is more important than the bride." -- Chicago Tribune
