"Notable for Ladwig's glowing, realistic paintings of two African American children who are part of a warm, extended family in a bleak, urban neighborhood. . . The pictures express the fears of everyday life and the love and faith of one of the most beautiful psalms."

 

Catholic Parent
"Ladwig's beautiful illustrations depict God's grace in the day-to-day activities of the members of a loving African-American family amid the ever-present dangers of an inner-city neighborhood."
