"You respond to the universal pet story before the illustrations show that Cindy is a young woman with Down's syndrome. [This book] is remarkable in telling it as Cindy sees it. Lightburn's realistic pictures in soft-tone colored pencil have the same beautiful sense of fragility, steadfastness, and connection."―Booklist (starred review)
