“Allende’s story emphasizes not only the importance of standing up to bullies but also that being small doesn’t mean you have to feel small. Rodriguez’s expressive and playful watercolor-and-ink illustrations give Perla fittingly large personality.”

—Booklist

“[Perla] narrates this story with . . . the type of cheekiness that will have kids giggling. The silly figures of a small wizard and mouse scampering around . . . makes for a cute seek-and-find that adds another layer of engagement for observant kids. [C]hildren will want to read more Perla adventures.”
