"Food can truly save the world! ...[E]specially beautiful." -- Youth Services Book Review

"Vivid illustrations that depict compelling scenes rendered in rich color add tone and nuance." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Readers will be inspired by Andrés' boots-on-the-ground commitment to others' well-being [and] the warmth and comfort a good, home-cooked meal can bring." -- Booklist
