“This well-paced story tells a realistic story of an adopted pet with grace and light humor… the final illustration of Sunny and Oswaldo hugging makes clear that even the most stubborn of us—human and pet—can change our opinions when we consider others. Purrfectly charming!”Kirkus Reviews
-
“Melleby and Bulgarian illustrator Colombo create a story about animal-human attachment, found family, and much more: With economic text and scribbly cartooning, they also offer an astute look at that moment when a child realizes there is more in a parent’s heart than initially imagined.”Publishers Weekly
