While especially and unreservedly recommended for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for children ages 4-8.”—Midwest Book Review“Victor is an unforgettable protagonist, small but unshaken, practical, and compassionate … readers will also recognize the quiet bravery it takes to speak truth to power, even when that power has nose hairs the size of tree trunks … A playful story about courage, empathy, and the power of one small voice.”—Shelf Awareness"Lovely illustrations and a rollicking narrative make this a great addition to children’s picture book collections, sure to have children requesting many rereads."—School Library Journal
