Wow. Thank you Kirkus Reviews🙏 "Though rooted in concrete details, the prose has a lilting quality, brimming with pride for the Amis & their way of life, while the stunning double-spread watercolors capture the lushness of the land." Sleeping Bear Press kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/e…

My first review from Publishers Weekly 🎊 "The wet-on-wet effect of Chiu’s limited-palette illustrations feather into roiling black clouds, humid green leaves, and rich gray earth, while plant descriptions and illustrations echo the characters’ rootedness and strength."
