Raschka ( The Magic Flute ) captures the intimacy between mother and infant with animated watercolors that celebrate imitative play.Deceptively simple, this small-scale study highlights the way that this kind of universal play builds trust and warmth between the generations. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) In this artfully composed picture book, Raschka gets to the emotional core of the relationship between a young child and a trusted adult.This everyday drama should resonate with the intended audience, who will likely find comfort in watching the events from the distance a book offers. Both characters satisfyingly acknowledge their audience in the end, where Baby--now reunited on the same page as Mama--waves safely from her arms. Be prepared for pleas of "Again, again!" --The Horn Book (starred review) Simple clothing, the empty white background, and uncluttered pages give the book a universal quality, making it appealing to the youngest readers. --Booklist A mother and child interact in familiar ways in Raschka's latest, which uses unique formatting to stand out from the crowd. --Kirkus Reviews.
