From The Critics:
Library Journal
A captivating bilingual book with close family relationships and unconditional love at its core.
Publishers Weekly
Saenz's text almost makes the book read like a short story-one that ably portrays mischievous sibling dynamics, a love of animals and the ways families come together during difficult times. Set against colorful solid backdrops, Garcia's clay artwork has an appropriately homey quality that keeps the focus on the siblings and their beloved pet.
