Review Quotes
"Highly recommended. Useful in art or language arts classes, this title would also serve as a gentle but challenging, introduction to social studies or current events units on the contemporary refugee crisis or migration throughout history." -- School Library Journal
"Envisioning warmth as both a baked potato and a blanket knit by a loved one, the thoughtful free verse lines build to a powerful final expression: 'You have the right to be here.'" -- Publishers Weekly
"A moving meditation on what it means to be safe and warm in a difficult world." -- Booklist
