Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Combining realism with shimmering impressionistic washes of color, Lewis turns readers into witnesses as kindness hangs in the balance…Woodson…again brings an unsparing lyricism to a difficult topic.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“This quiet, intense picture book is about the small actions that can haunt…Woodson’s spare, eloquent free verse…tell[s] a story for young kids that will touch all ages.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Lyrical and stylistically tight writing…gives opportunity for countless inferences and deep discussion…With growing income disparity and bullying on the rise, this story of remorse and lost opportunity arrives none too soon.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
“Woodson’s affecting story, with its open ending, focuses on the withholding of friendship rather than outright bullying…A good conversation starter.” —Horn Book
“Unfolds with harsh beauty and the ominousness of opportunities lost.” —Kirkus Reviews
