Industry Reviews "The black-and-white photos exhibit both sensitivity and skill; the poems and paragraphs successfully convey people and moments." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Roger Sutton (03/19/1996)
"Its words, accompanied by black-and-white photos, mirror poverty in the eyes of the children so effectively that the reader will turn back the pages to journey again, more slowly." Five Owls - Mary Bahr Fitts
