'This must-buy story has timeless illustrations and a sensitive plot about overcoming fears and being brave.'—School Library Journal, Starred Review

'The fearful protagonist of Dorleans's astutely sensitive and strengthening story draws courage from a voluminous red blanket. Comfort leads to confidence and more in this supportive story.'—Publishers Weekly

'The gently playful text brings a sense of lightness to the topic of childhood anxiety. Quiet, carefully rendered illustrations do the same; it's impossible not to smile at images of the blanket smushing Tommy's family and crowding his classmates... A soft, whimsical approach to a complicated subject.'—Kirkus Reviews
