Critical Acclaim

“Children will instantly warm to Stempel’s pint-size protagonist (and her luscious cupcake flavor combinations, such as double chocolate with marshmallow frosting, graham cracker sprinkles, and a caramel drizzle). Spunky Sky doesn’t take rejection personally, and, through her generosity and kindness, she cares for and supports her community. Sky’s open and caring nature shines through in every conversation, and Stempel’s sensitive narrative shows how the briefest of interactions can hurt and the smallest of selfless gestures can change someone’s life for the better. This sweet and touching illustrated story conveys important lessons about intergenerational connections and will be meaningful to both children and adults.”
-BookLife (Publishers Weekly)
“[V]ery highly recommended for elementary school and community library collections.”                             -Midwest Book Review
“[A] sweet book to share....Cupcake lovers will adore little Sky, who loves to experiment with her “famous mini cupcakes”: ‘May the 4th be Yum,’ ‘Icy-Tarts,’ and ‘More S’mores.’”
-Katie’s Book Reviews
“The message in this story is kindness and compassion for others and I think that can never get old in children’s books. I loved the story and the message. It is perfect for children that enjoy stories about how we can all be a little more understanding...and help each other in times of need. It would be a great addition to an elementary school classroom or a guidance office to facilitate discussion on how to help others.”
-Youth Services Book Reviews
