Reception
School Library Journal wrote "The illustrations splashy, slightly hazy watercolors in rosy pastels contrast the boy's fidgety energy with his friends' slow, careful movements and capture the story's warmth and sentiment."[1] Alzheimer's Australia found it "sensitively written".[2] A review by the NYU Langone Medical Center called it "A magnificently written and illustrated story about communication.."[3][3]
Wilfrid Gordon has also been reviewed by Booklist,[4] and YC: Young Children.[5]
