Reviews
A welcome story of a child overcoming her fears in her own time, and of a close and supportive intergenerational friendship. * The Horn Book Magazine *
Mylie's graphite art is monochromatically tinged black-and-white with bright pops of yellow that exudes a striking, sketchy look with high contrast and deep shadows. Kids who have broken a limb of their own-or faced any kind of tragedy that understandably could happen again-may want to pick this one up to be encouraged by Lulu's story. * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
Morris leaves no feeling unturned in Out on a Limb, for which Mylie has created a pigtailed protagonist whose every emotion commands her face like a newspaper headline. * Shelf-Awareness *
The dual arcs converge slowly, suggestive of the patience Lulu must have as she heals emotionally as well as physically, and the uplifting story concludes with a moment of serendipity that encourages Lulu to overcome her fears. * Publishers Weekly *
