Opinion
I am torn on this book. The positives slightly outweigh the negatives. I like the illustrations, the asian influenced drawings are lovely. The story reflects how many children feel when they don't have their parents attention, but I don't like the defiance that ends with a mom being okay that their child would talk to them harshly and walk out.
