PRAISE FOR JACQUELINE ALCANTARA'S ILLUSTRATIONS IN JAM, TOO? (by JaNay Brown-Wood):
* “In Alcántara’s richly colorful illustrations, the blues of sky and ocean, the tan sand, and the lush, green land remain constant while the musicians add as much color as they do sound, illustrating the amazing way that making music can bring people together and create community. Alcántara effectively captures the diversity of the characters in this African diasporic setting, illustrating various skin tones, hair styles and textures, clothing styles, fabric patterns, and more.” —Kirkus STAR
* “In Alcántra’s expressive artwork, bright, summery hues of azure, fuchsia, and lime green leap out against the sand, adding to the jubilant vibes as characters of various skin tones throw their bodies into the music and dance.” —PW STAR
“Colorfully energetic marker-and-Photoshop illustrations leap off the page with movement. . . . Surely a storytime winner, this radiant picture book will keep kids coming back to move and groove in their community.” —BCCB
"Demonstrates the rhythmic power of music to bring people together in friendship." —Booklist
