Review quotes

"Metcalf's loose, friendly black outlines, googly eyes, and gentle mixed media stylings keep the tone light even as the story heads for potentially emotionally charged territory. The exaggerated contrast between diminutive Alice and the much larger witch, giant, and dragon emphasizes her pluck and will empower others to consider both their own rights and their ability to help others no matter what their size." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
