Review
"A characteristically warm slice-of-life tale that also serves up a lesson or two about friendship and ethnic pride. . . . The artist relays the characters' affections through well-chosen compositions, placing his figures in natural but intimate relation to one another. All told, a book with a heart." Publishers Weekly, Starred
Synopsis
