Zachariah OHora's distinctive retro art and kid-friendly humor take the stage in this story about accepting and celebrating differences.
Momo is coming to visit, and his cousins are SO excited! But even though Momo is a flying squirrel, he won't fly for his cousin’s friends. Plus, his games are weird. He can't even play hide and seek right! But when Momo's cousins give his strange ways a chance, they realize that doing things differently can be fun...almost as much fun as making a new friend.
Fans of Peter Brown and Bob Shea will fall in love with Zachariah OHora’s bold artwork and hilarious characters.

PreS-K—When a flying squirrel arrives for a visit with relatives, carrying his suitcase, wearing a camera around his neck, and sporting a pink T-shirt and aqua-and-yellow running shoes, he fails to impress his two cousins and their many forest friends. He's too shy to fly for them, and he doesn't know how to play superheroes, hide-and-seek, or acorn-pong. The cousins are frustrated by Momo's behavior (one cousin kicks a mushroom), but when they follow their parents' advice to "Give him some time" and "Just make him feel welcome," they modify the rules of their games so Momo feels included. OHora's stylized illustrations are humorous (Momo dresses as "Muffin Man" when playing superheroes) and touching (he cries as he packs his suitcase, wanting to go home). VERDICT Many children will relate to Momo's situation as he faces new surroundings and experiences and will be relieved when his cousins finally accept him for who he is.—Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake Public Library, AB, Canada
