"What a gem this book is. Grandmother Thorn powerfully conveys the message that beauty can be found where we least expect it-- or want it-- when we learn to let go of our stubborn ways." happilyeverelephants.com
"Portland artist Rebecca Hahn painted, sewed and crafted the intricate and lovely artwork for this picture book from a Portland publisher. Katey Howes wrote the story of friendship and acceptance set in a rural Japanese village where the title character prides herself on orderliness and keeping the upper hand." Amy Wang, Oregonian
