"Eliza is going to school for the first time ever, but she doesn't want to leave Mommy."
"This encouraging tale emphasizes self-reliance as young readers anticipate their first separation from home."
- Kirkus Reviews
"McGinty avoids overly sweet cliches with a strong concept and smooth telling, and Speir's cartoonlike illustrations balance scenes showing Eliza's anguish with brightly colored views of a welcoming classroom and pictures of a loving mother and daughter that reinforce the warm, reassuring words."

Thank You, World (2007, Dial Books, Illus. Wendy Anderson Halperin)

"Eight kids... eight countries. Celebratory rhyme and glowing pictures show that life's greatest pleasures are the simple ones."
"The gentle, uplifting narrative begins each phrase with "Thank you," as the children express their appreciation for special things and happy moments (e.g., the sun, a swing, kites, mothers, etc.). [...] The book will appeal to [children's] curiosity about other youngsters and will enforce the concept of celebrating similarities and giving thanks for everyday things."
School Library Journal
"[A] marvelously conceived volume"...
Kirkus Reviews
