"Varon's singular visual style--bright, friendly, and completely
zany--and her deft, economical writing style make this simple ode
to holding hands burst with originality and charm." --New York
Times
"In Varon's world, even the sun and the moon hold hands. Seemingly
effortless verse...makes this the kind of readaloud that could find
a place among favorites." --Publisher's Weekly "With gentle
guidance, young readers will pick up on the broader message that
hand-holding...embodies strong emotional connection, bonding, and
inclusion. [This] concept is well-depicted in the colorful,
cartoony illustrations of the smiling, bearlike protagonists and
their fellow community members, who represent various animal
species, colors, sizes, and shapes."--Kirkus
"This is sure to be a day-care winner, and even youngsters
petulantly asserting their independence may be reminded that it's
really quite nice to hold somebody's hand."--The Bulletin of the
Center for Children's Books "Various animal (and other) characters,
rendered in Varon's singular offbeat style, show readers how
hand-holding can provide comfort." --Horn Book
"This warmhearted book will hold up over many readings, and is a
must purchase for -libraries serving younger patrons." --School
Library Journal "Award-winning graphic novelist and picture-book
artist Varon uses her trademark stylings and anthropomorphic
animals to create a gorgeous and precious picture book about a
simple but crucial element of learned childhood behavior."
--Booklist
