"Blabey offers a charming glimpse of childhood resilience and ambivalence … "
     —School Library Journal

"Blabey (Pearl Barley and Charlie Parsley) lays the pages out scrapbook style, with “photographs” and panels to break up the spreads. A drab palette of gray and brown and olive … serves to carry through Sunday's ability to see the good and the bad together. “Sometimes I feel a bit lonely,” Sunday says, watching a group of girls in the distance. “But only sometimes,” she adds, as her excellent imagination provides her an elephant and a bear to play with. A fine character study of an effervescent girl who isn't struggling, exactly, but who still has a lot on her plate."
     —Publisher's Weekly

"…[Blabey]his clear acrylics and mixed media ground Sunday's excitements and worries—shown in extreme, sometimes manic, facial expressions—on soft, solid, comforting backgrounds."
