Star Review for Brand-New Baby Blues



Brand-New Baby Blues receives a Star review from School Library Journal:

"Oil, acrylic, and gel are used to create gentle hues. What makes this telling of the new brother/sister theme stand out is how well the verses are in sync with the illustrations, layout, and the characters' facial expressions. Great for sharing with a group or one-on-one."
