"An engaging, accessible graphic early reader in both composition and message."
– Kirkus, May 1, 2021
Geraldine must bravely face down intolerance and ridicule in order to remain true to her culture and heritage. The graphic format will be enticing to younger readers, and the distinct panels make it easy to follow the action. . . . Early readers will sink their teeth into this refreshing story.
