"Sweet and reassuring...The vivid, expressive, and energetic illustrations catch just the right over-the-top tone. This fun selection is a great way to enhance picture-book collections." — Booklist, starred review

"The story is amusing and reads well. Drag performers should have this at the tops of their lists for drag-themed storytimes for the next several years—and a talented storyteller will be able to milk this for all it's worth... There's no mystery here; Miss Rita is going to werk all Pride Month! Let this winning pair sashay onto your shelf." — Kirkus Reviews

"Tori’s feelings—from excitement to wide-eyed nervousness—are clear in Tobacco’s digital art, while bright colors evoke drag’s vibrant nature. Donovan and Wixted's conversational text emphasizes an emotionally honest parent-child relationship, and like any good performance, it’s fun and full of heart." —Publishers Weekly
