★ "As reassuring as the first book, willing to reach to the constellations as well as back through time to show what these eyes have seen, this entry not only complements the original, but extends the conversation beyond history and into a future of possibilities. Together these books form a brilliant treatise to love of self and heritage, and belong on every shelf."
—School Library Journal
