Raves and Reviews
"The kids themselves, rendered in black and white, sparkle....When their mural becomes frantic and out of hand, the kids escape in a way that Crockett Johnson's Harold would be proud of. Expressive, high-spirited one-upkidship via artwork on walls—there's nothing wrong with that."
– Kirkus Reviews, August 1, 2017
Ohi (Where Are My Books?) celebrates creativity and cooperation in this story of two young artists, Sam and Eva, who don’t see eye to eye...and although the final pages tease another potential argument, readers will finish the book confident that these two will work through their creative differences once again.
– Publisher's Weekly, August 14, 2017
This whimsical picture book, with its refreshing take on imagination, is ideal for teaching young readers the value of teamwork.
