Industry Reviews
"Although the book will probably appeal to a special group of readers, the author's creativity is refreshing and her sensitivity to current times stimulating."
Horn Book - Lois F. Anderson

"On balance this is a bittersweet book that's refreshingly frank about being black, being proud, and saying it out loud."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Betsy Hearne (03/19/1989)

"Guy's story aims to foster pride and achievement; it makes sharp jabs at white biases in education and at failures to keep alive an appreciation for what was gained in the civil rights movement. Her message sticks, but readers will wish she opted for fewer soapbox tactics to make her points."
Booklist - Denise Wilms (05/01/1989)
