Recensioner i media

“The rhyming text is organized in well-paced couplets that read effortlessly and offer an occasional nod to other nursery rhymes. The type includes words set in a whimsical font in colors that complement Brantley-Newton’s lively, playful illustrations. Mary and her friends have loads of personality, and readers will be charmed by the ingenuity, dedication, and community spirit they display. A light read, this story is a glowing example of the magic that results when a thoughtful initiative receives support. Fun and inspiring.” — Kirkus Reviews"[T]his picture book makes a fantastic addition to any nursery-rhyme collection, but it’s also perfect for children in urban communities who are looking for ideas about what to do with abandoned lots." — Booklist“[A]n inspiring story . . . . Proving that even the smallest ideas can have the biggest impact.” —Daily Mom
