Kirkus Review
A young toddler enjoys a day "hand in hand" with a loving, energetic caregiver. While their relationship is never stated, the Asian-presenting youngster is a diminutive version of the grown-up, right down to the chin-length bobbed hair and bangs. The dyad enjoys a walk through the park, a snack on a park bench, some active play on the playground, and the trip on foot back home, the tired toddler carried by the loving adult. The lovely, rhythmic text is a series of rhymes made up of one to four words per line: "Me / You / We, two / Hand in hand / Through and through." Murray's soft art, which has the look and feel of pencil, pen, and ink, projects a cozy warmth despite a mostly cool, pale color scheme. The bond between the duo is palpable. While this offering is part of the New Books for Newborns series, with text reading like a gentle lullaby, the palette, busy compositions, and age of the featured child makes it feel more appropriate for children taking their first steps. Those children will thrill to see the fun they'll have once they are steady on their feet, playing on the slide, running after a ball, and perching on the playground carousel.A lyrical celebration of an ordinary outing and the bonds between loving adult and child.
