Review Quotes

"In geometric shapes and bright hues, three birds perch on a wire 'chirping about the day' at the start of Mullady's story, which delivers a missive about kindness and honesty... sound advice for helping kids to cope with hurtful words and conflict." --Publishers Weekly

"Mullady's valuable lesson sneaks up on readers, delivered with appropriate gentleness. Reed's cute birds are right in line. An afterword discusses hurt feelings, conflict, and gossip. Genuinely sweet." --Kirkus Reviews
