Recenzje

"A loving tale inventively and informatively told." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"A uniquely told story that will delight all readers. Highly recommended." - School Library Journal (starred review)

"Clever, whimsical, and jam-packed with details" - Horn Book (starred review)

"A friendship story chronicled through charts, graphs, and maps... When narrator Ana, an inveterate "charter" portrayed with brown skin, meets white-presenting Harwin at a fair, their commonalities and unique qualities become the subject of the book's first chart...Subsequent spreads chronicle their deepening connection, using different kinds of visuals, each rendered in energetic pencil and marker cartooning... A glossary of charts with activities concludes this social-emotional dataviz accounting." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
