Endorsement

"De Angeli writes with equal sympathy and understanding of families of varied ethnic backgrounds and creeds; and just as her illustrations bring their outward appearances vividly to life, her gentle, simple stories make their daily lives and the small concerns of their children those of all loving families everywhere." —Joan McGrath in Twentieth Century Children’s Writers
