"Gigi crafts her Japanese American identity in this enchanting
early reader. The cuteness, inclusivity, and cross-cultural
problem-solving represented will have young readers coming back
again and again. A must-buy." — School Library Journal (starred
review)
"The text is well supported by the endearing illustrations, which
capture all of Gigi’s big emotions and depict her as a biracial
child, with a white father and Japanese mother." — Booklist
(starred review)
"An affirming option in the quickly diversifying field of
early-reader books." — Kirkus Reviews
