Media Reviews
.. .This charming and engaging celebration of life is a must-read and a must-have. A natural successor to Dr. Seuss' Oh, the Places You'll Go! that deals with navigating life's ups and downs. --Booklist

Exuberant and loving; sure to incite giggles from kids and teary smiles from adults and possibly to unseat Oh, the Places You'll Go! as a perennial graduation gift. --Kirkus

With a cast that ranges across the span of childhood, this book seems destined to be given at milestone moments. --Publishers Weekly

An excellent choice for solo or group sharing and a natural for commemorating a graduation or other milestone. --School Library Journal
