"This tale of a small business succeeding is bolstered by illustrations that use perspective to create an almost 3-D effect that makes the action feel immediate and intimate. Spotlighting the power of community, this sweet (pun intended) story is warm and welcoming." - Kirkus
"Delving into family history, this bustling metropolitan story highlights many modes of cooperation and love." - Publishers Weekly
