Spring 2017 Kids' Indie Next List -- "Inspired Recommendations for Kids from Indie Booksellers"

"Napoli (Dark Shimmer) and Wiesner (Mr. Wuffles!) create a plot that crackles, and Wiesner’s graceful, classically proportioned artwork makes the story’s fantastical elements clear and believable."
—Publishers Weekly

"A thought-provoking work that is not to be missed."
