Praise for The Baby Tree


Praise for Pecan Pie Baby (by Jacqueline Woodson, illustrated by Sophie Blackall):
"This sweet universal story will have broad appeal. Blackall's full-spread illustrations . . . gently convey the sense of passing time, along with Gia's frustration and nostalgia regarding how things used to be and how they will change. A fine addition to the new-sibling canon."--School Library Journal
"Blackall's stylized ink and watercolor images, with their muted colors and slightly flattened perspectives, have a strong sense of style and calming warmth."--Publishers Weekly
"The ink-and-watercolor illustrations show mother and daughter telling silly stories, remembering good times, and snuggling up together. . . . Will touch kids dealing with sibling rivalry and spark their talk about change."--Booklist
"Blackall's apt watercolor-and-ink pictures capture the grounded serenity of a multiracial family (and community) with its priorities on straight."--Kirkus Reviews
