"Liniers's lovely watercolor-and-ink artwork is packed with detail that kids can lose themselves in. Wildflowers feels like an older sister to Sendak's work, maybe taking place on the next island over from Max's wild rumpus."--The New York Times Book Review
"Maurice Sendak did a masterly job capturing the untamed underbelly of childhood, most famously in Where the Wild Things Are. Adults are unsettled by his hero Max's occasional violence and the genuinely dangerous creatures he conjures up -- it's not how we like to imagine our kids playing. But children recognize it; that's what the world is like to them. Wildflowers' feels like an older sister to Sendak's work, maybe taking place on the next island over from Max's wild rumpus." --The New York Times
