Put 13 Stories About Harris into the hands of young readers ready for a baker’s dozen of whimsical tales.”— Book Page

“Organized into a baker’s dozen of vignettes, each of the book’s chapters is full of charm and understated humor.” —Foreword Reviews  

“Schwartz’s simple, straightforward diction maps precisely to her delicate line drawings to create nostalgic snapshots that demonstrate the way magic can be found in the mundane.”—Publishers Weekly
