Junior Library Guild Selection

“Bahk’s comforting picture-book debut, effortlessly multicultural, sparkles with the promise of imagination and friendship.”

—Booklist

“The steady narrative repetition as Juna sleeps and seeks offers a reassuring pattern for children who might be missing their own Hectors… Fills a need for those children who find themselves adrift when their closest friends seemingly disappear.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Bahk never loses sight of the very real emotions that drive her pensive, curious, and openhearted heroine.”

—Publishers Weekly
