Reviews for Squirrel Has Trouble Saying No

Cozy burnt orange tones mixed with cool purples and blues bring to life this tale translated from Spanish. The large-eyed anthropomorphic animals are endearing, and the setting seems both snug (inside Squirrel’s home) and vast (outdoor scenes). Readers who are oh-so-eager to please will hopefully take Squirrel’s lesson to heart. A necessary reminder that a little assertiveness can go a long way. (Picture book. 4-7) – Kirkus 'Squirrel Has Trouble Saying No' is a great book to read to school-age children to teach them about setting boundaries and saying no to friends. This book is illustrated by the talented Leire Salaberria, and I adore the beautiful illustrations. From the sweet animals to the enchanting woodland scenes I was drawn into Salaberria's art style. – YA Books Central This is a sweet story and encourages young readers to prioritize and recognize that sometimes you have to set limits. Richly patterned illustrations feature autumn hues and suit the story well – Puget Sound Council for Reviewing Children's and Young Adult Literature.
