We Became Jaguars
Written by Dave Eggers and Illustrated by Woodrow White
An Amazon Best Book of the Month
★ "The vivid concept that a grandmother's visit delivers danger and freedom instead of cozy reassurance is a winner, and Eggers develops it with easy humor and jaguar-speed pacing." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
★ "Children will relish this book's blurred ambiguities; what's real and what's imagined are as hard to distinguish as a jaguar in the shadows. A fresh inversion of expectations told in vivid art and idiom." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
★ "[The] playfulness isn't restricted to language. White's illustrations are spirited and clever . . . [and] sumptuously depicted. . . . White's color palette is beautiful. . . . [S]o fantastic it feels real, or so real that it feels fantastic? A must-have tale about the power of imagination." —School Library Journal, Starred Review
