Editorial Reviews

"Similar to the first collection, the format of the second volume really benefits from the wide variety of art styles and characters used, which celebrate a wide range of both creativity and diversity, while the six-page story structure ensures the stories are quick and pithy, potentially helping reluctant readers. Another big win."— Booklist
