A Junior Library Guild selection and a Kirkus Most Anticipated Book of Fall 2024
★ "A brilliantly twined telling in which an object bears witness to the lives of two families"
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
★ "A moving, elegantly constructed celebration of differences sure to foster empathy and stir the imagination."
—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
★ "The choice vocabulary and onomatopoeia used within the story bring rural America to the readers’ ears, and the inclusion of conversations about church, cornbread, and working class families enhance this design. Beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully written, this is a story that will encourage family discussion and reflection. This unique addition to the shelves celebrates the American experience through the lens of a beloved kitchen table."
—School Library Journal, Starred Review
