“Rocklin based her fiction on “the memoirs of ordinary people,” and each of her narrators has an individual, personal voice that rings true. It’s a tribute to Rocklin’s storytelling that this light but nourishing title leaves readers wanting more. An author’s note, a family tree, and strudel recipes are included.” The Bulletin for Children’s Books
