“The important thing about this review is to say this picture book is great…. A runaway success.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Barnett’s confiding tone draws readers in...then makes the case for Brown’s work.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)“An important, groundbreaking biography inspired by Brown’s legacy.” — School Library Journal (starred review)“A book with a brave appeal, and its admiration of Brown and respect for children makes it a standout picture-book biography.” — ALA Booklist (starred review)“Children old enough to look back at their Brown favorites with happy nostalgia will surely enjoy this creatively rendered backstory, while teachers and librarians will see connections between Moore’s collection exclusion and broader issues of access, making this age-accessible material for Banned Books Week.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)
