"Living on his own, with no immediate family members, Oddbird feels dispirited and lonely, comparing himself to the large families his friends and neighbors always seem surrounded by ... This story can help elevate a classroom discussion about the great diversity of home-life situations and family, exemplifying acceptance for how loved ones are found in treasured connections with friends and their families. Filled with energy and a beautifully balanced rainbow of colors, the bouncy pace of Oddbird's sequel reveals how family is defined by those who offer love and support. -- School Library Journal
