I enjoyed this. The art is bright and busy and fun, although the full-spread splash illustrations are interrupted by the binding of the hardcover, which is unfortunate. The story is mostly narration and exposition, and therefore weakened. We need to be shown, so to speak, more than have the fourth wall broken on every page.

That being said.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and loved the found family. I'm a sucker for found family. The characters are precious babies, and I adored them. I loved the diversity and calling out white feminism. I loved the politics, even though it was handled in a heavy-handed way. I'll forgive that if it's positive and fun. Which this was.

I'm hoping to read more from Ms Clarke, whom I adore, and Ms Bennett.
