You picked up on so many important details in Emmett and Hummer’s friendship, including Hummer’s steady presence in Emmett’s life as he grows up, and his mother and the wisdom she gives him. To have you call HUMMER & THE BOY “one of the most tender, soul-stirring stories about friendship” you have ever read is a compliment I’ll treasure forever. Your observation that the story “gently opens the door to conversations we all need to have” speaks directly to my hope that HUMMER & THE BOY can reach readers of every age. As a co-illustrator, hearing the illustrations described as breathtaking was both wonderful and meaningful, especially knowing how hard I worked to get the atmosphere and emotion to come through. Thank you for taking the time to read HUMMER & THE BOY so thoughtfully and for sharing such a generous review.
