""Cute story! Would make a perfect gift for a big sister of a baby brother!""-- Catherine Hankins, Cleveland Public Library ""Pauline Oud does a great job of showing that often our desires must be replaced with acceptance of what really is. If we look hard enough we can always find the silver lining.""-- Melissa Larabee, educator ""An excellent and interesting book about appreciating your siblings."" -- Rogene Carter, educator ""Adorable and fun! The perfect book for a (temporarily-disappointed) older (pre-K-ish) sibling.""-- Tara Hutson, Bibliofiler ""A lovely wee kids book with a great message about acceptance bubbling beneath the joyful drawings and simple story... a great read-aloud for the young ones that seems very re-readable, and could easily become a favorite with your kids.""-- Craig Sisterson, Herald on Sunday
