Front Cover, Original Illustration:
Ryan Hooley, illustrator; Denine D’Angelo, art director. “A nice cover that uses a play on words to partner with the drawing. The artist used warm colors for the family scene, and the designer integrated the nameplate into the atmosphere.” (PPA, 2007)
Overall Writing
“The stories clearly have a guiding hand that ensures they stay on point while offering valuable local resources and interesting, compelling interviews. Whether addressing how friendships impact racism or heading back to school after divorce, the writing is clear and focused. Enjoyable to read.” (PPA, 2007)
