Review:
"A book of warmhearted mix-ups." -Kirkus Reviews
"Young readers will experience the pair's urgency, frustration, and joy as all's well that ends well. A perfect choice a to share on Grandparents' Day." -School Library Journal
"There's gentle comedy in the big, obvious gestures of the neighbors who help explain the situation to Yumi and Grandma. Unspoken, but also gratifying, is the idea of a place in which a small child can set out alone to see her Grandma in perfect safety."-Publishers Weekly
"The humor of this trifling anecdote is uncannily pitched to 3- to 6-year-olds, and Gomi's witty one-dimensional illustrations drolly complement his storytelling." --The New York Times
"Sweet and funny. another gem from picture-book master Gomi."-The Horn Book Magazine
"One of those books that we keep going back to over and over." --Illustoria
"Absolutely delightful in it's simplicity."--Book Riot
