Editorial Reviews

" The simply written story introduces aspects of urban living in an appealing way. Diversity is intrinsic to both the story and the illustrations." — Booklist

"A debut early reader from Yoo and Ng-Benitez introduces a refreshingly diverse cast of characters in an urban setting. . . . Welcome to the neighborhood, Lily!" — Kirkus Reviews

"While Paula Yoo has written excellent books for older readers, she proves herself to be just as good at writing for new readers, which is no easy task. . . Most remarkably, Yoo and Ng-Benitez together have created truly engaging child characters living in a vivid realistic world with just a few masterful lines of text and ink." — Reading While White
