"This fine debut is a heartwarming story about a special bond a young Native American girl shares with her grandfather. Youngsters who have lost a loved one or who share a special relationship with an older adult will relate to this touching story, which clearly shows what healthy grieving is like." -- Booklist "What sets Boyden's work apart is her depiction of contemporary Native American culture, with Rosalie's family living in a small-town community. Their everyday life and loss connect them to universal experiences of growth and death that cross cultures. Cordova's paintings have static quality that reinforces the reflective tone of the text. the book would be suitable for one-on-one sharing with children who are mourning a grandparent or other relative." -- School Library Journal "A gentle story of family ties, loss and dreams." -- Kirkus Reviews Paterson Prize for Books for Young People - Passaic County Community College.
