Press voices:
Lindenbaum paints Uncle Tommy’s fabulous shirts and retro furniture with verve, and her pacing is sure as she sees Mini Mia’s struggle through to its resolution. The emotions stay true, and by the denouement Mini Mia’s wrath has been reconciled, wordlessly and authentically. Publishers Weekly, Oct 2007
Mia’s first-person narration conveys her emotions with childlike honesty. Lindenbaum’s playful illustrations give the book a lightheartedness that will appeal to youngsters. While Mia is upset over Fergus intruding in her special relationship, her expressions let readers know that, in the end, she has acquired another friend. Joan Kindig, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA – School Library Journal, Dec.2007
