Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

The gouache illustrations are excellent....Intriguing characters come alive. —Booklist
Lin successfully combines three distinctive and memorable elements: a fable that avoids seeming contrived, a vision of a mother and child living in cozy harmony, and a night kitchen of sendakian proportions. —
— Publishers Weekly —
* This folkloric pourquoi tale effectively blends peaceful bedtime rhymes with the lure of irresistible snacking temptation—BCCB, starred review —
...wonderful as a bedtime book all year long. —The New York Times
* The relationship between Little Star and her mother offers a message of empowerment and reassurance. Lin's loving homage to the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival is sure to become a bedtime favorite.—School Library Journal, starred review —
Lin's vibrant gouache paintings are a stellar fit for this story...this is a gentle, beautiful book for all. —BookPage
In this bedtime read that sounds like a lullaby, a child longs to eat a mooncake she baked with her mom. Each night she secretly takes a bite, bringing about a new phase of the moon. —Parents Magazine
A delightful read-aloud — Kirkus Reviews
A charming, childlike quality infuses the artwork; boldly hued gouache pictures feature skies and lawns as patterned as the girl's kitchen wallpaper and curtains. —Publishers Weekly
