Editorial Reviews

&quotDelightful…Underlines the special bond between and among family members.&quot

— CM Magazine

"Whether readers have brown skin or light skin, are mothers, fathers, or elders, this book is 'as welcome as the light from the sun,' as Van Camp's text aptly puts it. A wonderful expression of love and welcome song of hope manifested in a book about counting kisses."

— Kirkus Reviews

"This is one of those books you'll want to give to lots of people…Van Camp gives us so much…Highly recommended. Get a copy. You'll see. It is a delight!"

— Debbie Reese, American Indians in Children's Literature
