Critic Reviews
"A positive and realistic representation of both a wheelchair user and an elderly, interracial gay male couple. "―Kirkus Reviews
"Accompanied by Kerrigan's muted, pastel-coloured illustrations… Smith's narrative creates a fully rounded and sympathetic storyline with characters with whom youngsters will likely be able to identify…A delicious, enjoyable, and necessary narrative for modern families with a non-normative makeup. Highly Recommended."―CM: Canadian Review of Materials
"A fond and sympathetic story, told with attractive particulars, of the challenging pitfalls of aging and their effects on the family…[A] welcome reminder that even after a daunting change, family can still be family."―The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
