Reviews
* "A lively intergenerational picture book that will send readers out to the sidewalk for a hoopin' good time. . . A fine incentive to motivate couch potatoes young and old to move." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review * "This story of a tightly knit community attests to the power of tradition and the treasures to be discovered among the generations that came before." -- Shelf Awareness , starred review "These feisty characters, find loving ways to honor and forgive one another--while having a blast--will give pleasure across generations.
