Review Quotes
"Using soft colors textured with simple lines and deftly blended shadows exuding warmth and charm, Phuong presents humorous, cartoonish scenes of the kids invading Han's space... Presented in a mix of speech bubbles and narrative text, Krans' prose is spare yet intimate... A gorgeous tale brimming with friendship, love, and touches of humor." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Angela Pham Krans depicts the growth of this intergenerational relationship with charming, witty prose that young readers will find both educational and humorous... The sweet, cheerful atmosphere is complemented well by Thai My Phuong's soft color palette and expressive characters... Another Word for Neighbor balances its heartfelt depiction of grief and isolation with all the warmth of a steaming bowl of pho. -- BookPage
