Review

"The pacing and full-color illustrations bring the emotional aspect of these topics to life."

"Bold inking and coloring by a studio of DC and Marvel veterans give the pages a polished, dynamic look... This noncondescending volume represents a shot in the arm for a category of children's publishing too prone to blandness..."
