"Parr preaches the message of self-acceptance and tolerance of others." — SLJ

"Parr focuses on acceptance and individuality and encourages readers to do the same." — PW

"It's rare that a children's author appeals to adults, but when it happens, it's usually magic; Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein... Well, I've found another to add to the list: Todd Parr." — Kansas City Star
