Editorial Reviews

Ann Pleshette Murphy

Mr. Henkes manages to convey the depth of Lilly's emotions in illustrations that are pure delight. -- New York Times

From the Publisher

“Lilly is one of the great female characters in literature—like Anna Karenina with whiskers or Scarlett O’Hara with paws.” — USA Today

“In all of children’s literature there is just a handful of characters we think of as family—Madeline, Winnie-the-Pooh, and Charlotte come to mind—and when this young generation is old enough to reflect on the ones it loved, Lilly will probably lead the pack.” — New York Times Book Review

"Henkes gets it all just right. All of the bustling, inventive artwork is a pleasure to look at. The whole book, art and text, is lovingly layered to express the mixed emotions that all of us experience.” — Booklist (starred review)
