"This is a gently comical tribute to warm, deeply loving grandmother-grandchild relationships. The dynamic pencil, watercolor, and gouache illustrations are as free-wheeling and entertaining as gray-haired Gaga, who is pale-skinned; the protagonists and the parents are brown-skinned. " --Kirkus

"Pencil, watercolor, and gouache in Love's recognizable style add an extra dose of magic to the pair's fanciful days. With bright bursts of color and extravagant scenes, the reader is whisked away into their playful world from the very first page. " --The Horn Book Magazine

"Award-winning illustrator Jessica Love uses vivid sweeps of color and expressive linework in dynamic compositions, adding cleverly observed details, to bring this sprightly character and her quirky antics to something decidedly larger-than-life. Young readers will revel in the carefree silliness of these shared "mistake days." --Booklist

"Scene after scene in gouache, watercolors, and pencil illustrate intergenerational love and delight with dynamic sweeps, wry humor, and vibrant patterns. This homage to the eccentricities and charm of special grandparents ticks a lot of boxes. Highly recommended." --School Library Journal
