Body language and facial expressions are skillfully deployed, with Sophias classmates and teachers loose energy contrasting with her arms-crossed awkwardness at school, while power poses and wide-eyed wonder easily convey the strength and joy she feels at the dig site." -- Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books (BCCB) "Boldly colored illustrations bring rich visuals to the story. Although the idea that children should be honest about their feelings is completely gender neutral, the adult topic of gender-based harassment, nodding to the "Stop Telling Women to Smile" movement, is handled with perfect age-appropriateness." -- School Library Journal " Sophia doesnt feel the need to fake emotions for the benefit of others, and she delivers a self-assured clapback to the constant commands to put on a happy face... An empowering picture book about being true to yourself." -- Booklist Digital Review Quote "The book gives full respect to Sophias refusal to perform an emotion....
