“Perfect for family sharing, this also makes a valuable resource for teachers and librarians in need of verses for special days.” Booklist
“A thoughtful and…arresting trove of seasonal verse.” Kirkus Reviews
The mother-daughter team successfully demonstrates an understanding of that magical stage of childhood in which determination, desire and dreams can transform reality. Kirkus"Geraldine radiates noblesse oblige, heedless energy, and a sense of destiny-she's Eloise crossed with Hillary Clinton.
This is a warmly sentimental collection, leavened with humor and poignancy, ...educators and librarians will also embrace it for its sincere advocacy of reading aloud. SLJ
