Reviews:
"Manso uses simple, direct sentences and a repeating structure, ending each spread with a question that invites reader response... Momohara’s photo-collages give the book real charm: set against soft, canvas-textured backdrops, they show the boy stretching his arms up like a growing sprout, splashing through puddles, and whistling to mimic birdsong." - Publishers Weekly
"With engaging text by Susana Madinabeitia Manso and eye-popping photo illustrations by Emily Hanako Momohara, this pair of concept picture books [In Spring/En Primavera and In Autumn/En Otoño] offers an appealing approach to traditions commonly associated with each season." - Christa Jiménez, Latinxs in Kid Lit blog
