“Accompanying the spare, rhyming text that echoes the cadence of Stick Stone by Beth Ferry, the illustrations bring the story to life in detail . . . [Together We Ride is a] positive portrayal of a father/daughter relationship on the day of a milestone; a good addition for all picture book collections.”-School Library Journal
“Written in spare, rhyming text containing plenty of sight words, the story is told largely through the book’s beautiful mixed-media illustrations. Juanita, a Coretta Scott King Award Honoree, creates watercolor-like scenes accented in candy-colored hues and filled with thoughtful details . . . . Featuring a young Black family, [Together We Ride] is a wonderful choice for every collection and an asset in the area of #RepresentationMatters.”-Booklist, starred review
