Review Quotes

"This delightful picture book shows Edwin and Edweena, each fabulous in whatever they choose to wear.... Cho's artwork is the perfect accompaniment to the text. Bright and bold at times, soft and whimsical at others, and even timid--the illustrations underscore the story's emotions. Especially evocative is the joy of seeing a kid be true to who they are."
