Praise for Gigi and Ojiji:

""Gigi crafts her Japanese American identity in this ­enchanting early reader. The cuteness, inclusivity, and cross-cultural problem-solving represented will have young ­readers coming back again and again. A must-buy."" —School Library Journal (starred review)

""The text is well supported by the endearing illustrations, which capture all of Gigi's big emotions and depict her as a biracial child, with a white father and Japanese mother."" —ALA Booklist (starred review)

""An affirming option in the quickly diversifying field of early-reader books."" —Kirkus Reviews
