Up Above and Down Below - Hardcover

"A gentle and well-designed introduction to recognizing different points of view - and a reminder that people are the same wherever they live."

"A visually stunning, gently restrained picture book that should be high up on readers' lists."

"Broader lessons are left to be intuited, something to ponder over juice box and Goldfish. Valdivia's deceptively simple illustrations also merit further exploration."
Bruce Handy, The New York Times, August 27, 2012
