★ "A charming tale in tribute to the life and imagination of storytelling powerhouse Toni Morrison. . . . Glowing and overflowing with the legacy of the author who inspired it." — Kirkus review, starred review

"As Small-Girl Toni leads her siblings in search of gold, Anatol, making her picture book debut, incorporates components of Morrison’s works. The children’s journey yields little in the way of the aimed-for treasure, but their arrival home reveals “the warmth of true wealth” and offers a new lens on the gold they gathered along the way." — Publishers Weekly review

"This imaginative picture book is inspired by the life and works of Toni Morrison. It follows a young Toni as she weaves tall tales and is scolded for her stories. . . . Back matter includes a biographical note and a list of references from her work included in the picture book. The illustrations are rich and bold. It’s a picture book that both adult and child readers will appreciate." — Book Riot review, “9 of the Best New Children’s Books Out December 2023”
