"Jeet's family, who are first-generation Indian American and practicing Sikhs, are a welcome sight in the landscape of early readers. An afterword discusses the importance of animals, harmony, and community service within the religion, and this first entry is a promising start to the centrality these themes will have in future releases.the book's bright tone and illustrations will appeal to young audiences."
