Critic reviews

"Whatever the circumstances, each vignette reflects a strong sense of hope. Lawlor's handpainted paper collages are equally powerful."--Publisher's Weekly

"This is an affecting little book that should help all of us remember the grit and hope that formed our nation."--Children's Literature
