Industry Reviews
"In a remarkable true story, Moss introduces Dr. Martin Couney, a doctor with a flair for showmanship who used expositions and eventually the Coney Island Boardwalk to build public trust for a new idea that could save 'doomed to die' premature babies: 'warming boxes, ' or incubators . . . Chu's cartoony illustrations . . . have an old-timey charm full of detailed period dress and very appealing itty-bitty babies."--Horn Book Magazine
-- (6/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)"Moss . . . tells a story grounded in facts and full of human interest . . . With curving lines and warm colors, the illustrations create a genial tone while transporting viewers to a bygone era. An intriguing picture book."--Booklist Online
