"The inviting nocturnal landscapes are vivid with interesting
details, and readers will long to join in this peaceful
celebration."—School Library Journal
"A beautiful, welcome choice for multicultural studies, this also
adds diversity to autumnal thanksgiving themes."—Booklist
"A gentle text and Lin’s rounded art style with her signature
night-sky swirls lend themselves nicely to the moon symbolism that
is so very important to this celebration. An endnote further
describes the festival, emphasizing families coming together, just
like the moon returning to its fullness."—Kirkus Reviews
