Royal's art has a spare, warm quality, with loose ink outlines and splashes of light pastel and citrus tones in the characters' clothing and surroundings. Educator Kaba addresses the experiences related to parental incarceration head-on while emphasizing that there are a lot of different ways to be a family.<strong>--<em>PUBLISHERS WEEKLY</em></strong></p> <p>Charming and heart-wrenching details in the flights of fireflies, bordered pictures in a photo album, and even the expression of the little girl when a classmate whispers, 'You know your daddy's a criminal so that makes you one, ' highlight the angst and resilience of the little girl.
