Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Diaz's artwork reinforces the mythic-hero aspects of the narrative with deeply framed compositions featuring stylized, statuesque figures of robotic power." - Betsy Hearne April 1996 Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Both the text and the pictures are splendid celebrations of an inspiring life." - Michael Cart 04/14/1996 Five Owls
"Krull's strength as a biographer is evident in the stimulating style through which she makes Wilma's experience and indomitable spirit come alive." - Kathie Krieger Cerra September/October 1996 Quarterly Black Review of Books
"Krull's graceful minimalist text is complemented by illustrations by David Diaz....[who] again uses warm, intense colors and collages. Together, the words and pictures show how Rudolph's grit and determination helped her to achieve." - Jeanne Fox-Alston September 1996
