Praise for The Family Tree

* Review from School Library Journal: “VERDICT An absolute winner with comic touches and tenderness that will speak to a generation of readers who are part of families that are “on the go” and yet looking for an alternative to the pace of modern life. Highly recommended.”

* Review from Publishers Weekly: “Watercolor patterns and textures give smudgy digital drawings from Lee (Can’t Stop Kissing That Baby) an organic feel, and much of the story’s pleasure lies in humorous depictions of the tree as it grows “a little taller, a little barkier, a little leafier,” filling the house’s nooks and covering the scenes in brightening color.”

Kirkus: “Reminiscent of craft art styles typically used to depict traditional tales, Lee’s illustrations underscore the plot’s folkloric nature. Her subdued palette creates space for and emphasizes Tree’s verdant presence, though the green glow that surrounds it suggests that magic may also lurk among its leaves…A tale sure to encourage readers to gather around and enjoy one another’s company.”

Praise for Good Morning Main Street

Kirkus: “Lee’s naïve artwork perfectly complements the verse, planting subtle smiles on all manner of things living and nonliving. Keen observers of the art will notice a ubiquitous red cat that’s finally called out in the text toward the end. A diverse human population appears throughout; a bird’s-eye view of the town square is especially noteworthy. This book is best shared in an intimate setting so readers can spend time poring over the illustrations—crucial to the appreciation of the warm, lulling words…Sweetly affirming and quietly clever.”
