"With a masterly blend of descriptive language and ethereal pastel illustrations, ordinary moments become extraordinary; the book reminds readers to treasure the memories made with family. Heartfelt and visually pleasing, this is an essential addition to picture book collections." -- School Library Journal, starred review "Realistic, largely full-bleed art gives a reportorial feel to digitally rendered road trip scenes, while soft-edged, rainbow-tinged clouds usher in the feel of the child and grandparent's gentle interactions. The animated pair's enthusiastic care for each other offers a winning portrait of both backseat travel and intergenerational closeness." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "Deamy pastel illustrations enhance the sense of marvel inspired by the contents of Ama's purse. The result is a heartwarming, multigenerational celebration of family and memories." -- Booklist.
