Accordionly Reviews

"Genhart draws on his own family's history for inspiration in his newest diversity-celebrating picture book.... This is a reassuring story, emphasizing that though we may be different we can find common ground, an especially important message for multiracial/multiethnic children who can often feel pulled between competing identities... Burris' dot-eyed and brightly colored illustrations are darling, highlighting each culture well.... As mixed-race families continue to grow, this title is sure to find a ready audience."- Kirkus Reviews;

"Members of multiracial families may have more in common than expected... Even more, the boy's problem-solving abilities offer an opportunity to talk to children about situations that trouble them, and possible solutions. A thoughtful picture book for storytime and one-on-one reads."- School Library Journal;

"Genhart pulls from his own childhood growing up in bicultural family in this cheery picture book, which tells of a young boy and how the accordion brought his family together.... Music is the universal language.... Great for reading aloud and featuring bright, energetic illustrations, this endearing story supports diversity and multicultural inclusion."- Booklist

"Genhart's story is pure joy.... his is a very clever idea for a book, as we all have bits of different cultures in our history. And there are many of us who have chosen to create bicultural and multiracial families through adoption. This book will have a far-reaching appeal to many families. It is such an uplifting and feel-good story."
