"Cummings' fable rolls out with poetic economy, heightened by Devries' spacious page design. … Deftly persuasive." -- Kirkus Reviews
"This whimsical read-aloud is a good way to spark conversations about conflict resolution and good communication. A solid addition for most picture book collections." -- School Library Journal
"Boy is deaf and one day he runs into the middle of a battle... slight chaos ensues. The cute drawings make it a lovely read, but the deep message of diversity and the need for communication, all kinds of communication, is strong and ever-present. Charming story!" -- Children's Book Council Bulletin
"The endearing story of 'BOY' written by Phil Cummings is a thought-provoking tale that can change minds and warm hearts."
