It's an excellent companion to Kleber's story, which encourages patience, practice, and sharing creativity, and finishes with a simple origami lesson for readers to try. His art shows his hand, the textured pencil, and pastel strokes evident on the page, which gives the book a gentle, handmade feel.


Karas' soulful illustrations depict Joey with brown skin and cropped, textured hair, with other characters drawn to show other ethnicities. Kleber uses simple language but gives young readers great credit for understanding multiple concepts conveyed at once, and the story is all the better for it.
