“In this buoyant picture book that literalizes a child’s experience of distractibility, pale-skinned Bobby does his best to focus amid competing perceptions … Stobbs’ candy-colored artwork mixes textures for a layered effect that embodies the text’s vision of acceptance and individual strengths.”

– Publishers Weekly

“Stobbs’ latest is an excellent, vibrant demonstration of the power of a young imagination, with delightful illustrations that effectively capture the challenges of focusing. The perspective he offers through Bobby’s story will bring comfort to neurodivergent kids—especially those who experience attention deficits—and the adults who are exploring ways to help their little ones feel more secure in an often rigid world.”
