“Brantley-Newton creates a welcoming school environment filled with cozy nooks, while the heroine exudes personality. Mellom sensitively conveys how school brings with it important, unexpected social lessons.” —Publishers Weekly

“The illustrations are brightly colored and dynamic to match [and] the theme of friendship and first-day jitters will surely resonate with new students… suitable for reading aloud to young children or independent reading for early elementary students.” —School Library Journal
