A Kirkus star!

Kirkus Reviews are among the top-shelf of accolades, and I’m thrilled that A GREAT BIG NIGHT was awarded a coveted star. From the review:

“The rhythmic, vibrant verse text, peppered with lively onomatopoeic sounds, dances off the pages, begging to be read aloud.

Wild, whimsical, and slightly surreal illustrations, rendered in sprightly collage and brilliantly colored paint, perfectly capture the raucous energy of the jiving frogs and hilarious bevy of cavorting animals as well as the terror of the fierce storm and the harmonious, attitude-altering camaraderie of neighbors helping one another.

Riff-raff rules in this joyful, playful, high energy great big night.”

I just about danced a jig. Many thanks to the readers at Kirkus, whose approval all of us are tickled to receive.
