"Marisol McDonald continues to stand out as a character. . .
Dom�nguez's Spanish translation is also noteworthy; its emphasis on
capturing the spirit of the language over literal words makes this
book equally joyful in both English and Spanish. A broadly
appealing bilingual and bicultural celebration of being oneself and
the love of family." -- Kirkus ReviewsInternational Latino Book
