"An engaging, emotionally resonant picture book." -- Booklist (starred review)

"Rogers deftly conveys the bittersweet but necessary parting with something that has been a staple of a kid's entire life. Vibrant digital art features characters with oversized heads and huge, welcoming smiles that beam with joy, while warms tones and pastoral scenes provide a gentle sense of comfort and safety. Give this to a kid who has a strong attachment to the family car so they can appreciate the many experiences shared with it." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"The narrative of the many uses of Bob provides a universal story line with which many children can identify while also matter-of-factly incorporating activities specific to Indigenous families. The engaging illustrations show Bob as a standard car without eyes, mouth, or other human features, and yet Katie's heartfelt narrative enables readers to imagine Bob as an actual family member." -- Horn Book Magazine

"Easy prose and crisply drawn digital illustrations give equal weight to each member of family caring for its members through life's seasons." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
