From Booklist:
Gil Ashby has provided artwork for many advertisements, textbooks, and children's books, including a book about Rosa Parks by Eloise Greenfield. He lives in Detroit, Michigan.
Gr. 3-5. The poetry here is nothing special. What readers will enjoy are the mother and daughter voices--chatty, warm, irritated, angry--and the family vignettes. Yolen and Stemple, mother and daughter, have always sent each other notes, and Stemple, now a mother of daughters, remembers her preteen questions and complaints. On each left-hand page, a daughter writes to her mom; on the opposite page, her mom writes back. Gil Ashby's realistic, softly brushed pencil illustrations extend the situations with a diverse cast of mothers and daughters, who argue about homework, body image, using the phone. They bargain about staying up late and ear piercing. They help each other through grief and through feeling scared of the dark ("I'm too old for a night-light"). Some girls will see themselves here, and they may want to write their own family conversations. Hazel Rochman
