***STARRED REVIEW***"Bingham’s text marries straightforward descriptions and naturalistic dialogue...The effect is immersive; readers will feel as though they’re being ushered through the front door and offered a plate. Esperanza’s illustrations serve up a feast for the eyes...Esperanza captures facial expressions with an ultra-realism elevated by backdrops done in fantastical Technicolor...every page worthy of framing. A book to sink your teeth into."
