Reviews
"Vivid, bright paintings illuminate the well-told narrative centering a child's singular fixation, disappointment, and family warmth." * Kirkus Reviews *
"Simple yet evocative... A gentle, well-paced reminder to live in the moment." * Publishers Weekly *
"Landazabal's gouache and watercolor art is striking, depicting both the sights at the zoo and the lollipop in dazzlingly vibrant hues ... leading to this readaloud's heartwarming message: it's easy to be distracted by the anticipation of something that doesn't come to fruition, and there's great healing in a hug and some brotherly love." * BCCB *
"The book delivers its message about living in the moment elegantly, text and illustrations both equally vibrant. This is a picture book to remember" -- Andrea Reece * LoveReading4Kids *
