* “Repetitive, rhyming, call-and-response–style text makes this one a sure bet for the younger set…torn-paper, ink, and digital-media artwork is the standout here….Yuly imbues her subject with verve and energy; readers will be just as eager to see the results of the pelican’s flight as the birds waiting back home in the nest.”Kirkus Reviews, starred review
-
