REVIEWS
Kirkus Reviews
“A hard, heartfelt read.”
Catholic News Service
“Uses two strikingly different perspectives on the same object to show how children from the same world face very different realities. . . . An astute child with guidance from an adult can use this book to open up discussions about solidarity and compassion.”
School Library Journal
“A sobering title that may be used by parents and educators to teach about point of view, equity, and compassion.”
