Praise for NO! Said Custard the Squirrel

**STARRED REVIEW** "With its steady repetition, this is practically a how-to manual on patiently combating relentless ignorance. Yet it is as much about believing someone when they tell you who they are as it is a guide for dealing with the rodents of the real world. Soft artwork rendered in pen and ink and watercolor deftly highlight the features and body language of both of the main characters."
Kirkus Reviews

**STARRED REVIEW** "Cleverly rendered, accessibly philosophical take on confronting bias, labels, and assumptions."
Publishers Weekly

The characteristically unexpected details and color choices featured in Ruzzier’s watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations pair perfectly with this story of individualism.
The Horn Book Magazine

Custard’s serene refusals may strike a chord in readers who reject being saddled with predetermined or neatly delimited tags.
