“The colorful, adorable gouache illustrations capture the birds’ personalities. The artwork appears in graphic novel–like panels, and characters speak in speech bubbles. Proof that you can have the best of both worlds: quiet solitude and boisterous time with friends.” – Kirkus Reviews about Only, The Bird Who Liked Being Alone
