Starred Review "The inspirational and determined life of Tubman is distilled into evocative vignettes reaching back to her childhood. So varied were her roles that the casting of multiple narrators not only adds texture to the production but helps reinforce that each role had its own set of challenges and its own place in her life. Each of the four narrators reads with a clear, convincing voice and employs tones befitting the role she portrays." Booklist

Starred Review "This charming audio presentation of Troy Johnston's picture book that celebrates the power of language soars thanks to evocative sound effects and narrator Marc Thompson's impressive vocal acrobatics. This playful title demonstrates how "letters hold magic" by showing how they form a wide assortment of powerful, sometimes nonsensical words that can be mighty, yummy, or even bewitching, among other things."

AudioFile Earphones Award "Author Tony Medina pays tribute to legendary musician, poet, and activist Bob Marley in this outstanding production narrated by Jaime Lincoln Smith.... Smith's Jamaican accent and spot-on delivery animate the words, lifting them above evocative soundscapes enriched with selections from Marley's music. Enjoying the picture book's vibrant illustrations by Jesse Joshua Watson or reading along with the text can enhance the listening experience. Still, the audio performance stands remarkably well on its own." AudioFile Magazine
