I just read this book aloud for a book-on-tape, and the ending was moving.
Strictly speaking, I could fault the book for the fact that the viewpoint character describes himself as black even though he's really brown -- unlike the title character, who really is black. But since Squizzy can't understand what the word "black" even means, that distinction might have been difficult to fit into the story -- whose point is that such distinctions don't matter.
