"This author illustrator team has created a delightful twist on an age-old childhood dilemma. Moving is always a bittersweet occurrence so Lily’s mom makes a game out of telling Lily about their upcoming move to Taiwan. Extremely resistant to the idea Lily is full of what-abouts. The illustrations are exquisite colorful and very detailed. Visual learners will appreciate how well the illustrations tell the story." – School and Library Journal
