A BIG congratulations to Maris Wicks and Galen Goodwin Longstreth. Their book, YES, LET'S made the ABA 2013 ABC Best Books for Children Catalog!
Earlier this year, YES, LET'S received not one, but TWO starred reviews.
★"In an age of technology overload, debut talents Longstreth and Wicks remind readers of the things that matter: family outings, the vitamin D that comes from time spent outdoors, and the memories that accompany such excursions...Wick's clean-lined cartooning greatly expands on Longstreth's understated but evocative verse, filling the pages with visual mini-narratives, dashes of humor, and details to pore over, all while capturing the cheerful chaos of a big, happy family."--Publisher's Weekly, starred review
★"From the children's creative ideas and Wicks' illustrations of their inventiveness, children and families everywhere will be inspired to head outside to make memories together."--Shelf Awareness, starred review
"I LOVE Yes, Let's and have given it to lots of kids and their parents who always let me know that it is a favorite in their house. It is a fantastic read-aloud for the rhythm and the fun and adventurous story. And there is so much going on in the illustrations that it can be read again and again without ever getting old. The book has that 'best day of childhood' feeling that the reader wants to come back to."--Kristin Russ, Powell's Books
"Ready the backpacks—this is sure to inspire many a family."--Kirkus Reviews
