“Willow is a timid white rabbit who prefers staying home—an abandoned mailbox—where it’s cozy and quiet. There she sketches and dreams, but her comfortable routine is interrupted when a letter flutters through the mail slot one day. A warm and wondrous adventure for armchair, or high chair, travelers.” (Booklist, starred review)
“Both author and illustrator are Korean American, and their poignant picture book is an intimate look at a biracial child’s bewilderment, denial, anger, and, finally, acceptance about being ‘half and half’…. Language is the heart of the story, which is told in both English and Korean.” (Booklist, starred review)
