Reviews for Lilly´s Big Day
"Lilly is one of the great female characters in literature-like Anna Karenina with whiskers or Scarlett O'Hara with paws."
USA Today "Caldecott Award winner Kevin Henkes once again demonstrates perfect pitch for the emotional lives of the very young. Lilly, of course, understands the true truth: the flower girl is more important than the bride."
