—School Library Journal

In keeping with the irreverently inspirational attitude of his previous work, Clayton provides an alphabet of affirmations... [T]he big, furry-looking font and playful miniature images... lend Clayton’s work a Haight-Ashbury vibe that should gel with free-spirited kids.

Engagingly simple... [T]he feel-good tone is catching, and the sentiments make fertile discussion fodder.
