Pros

Qiana Whitted wrote her comment about this book on one of online site, she explained that it is often a challenge to find children's books with black characters that aren't overwhelmed with historical narratives or self-affirming gobbly-gook (be like Harriet Tubman! The little touches make this book unique and lovely, Lola's soft cloud of unraveled hair when she wakes up, the way she kneels on the floor during story time at the library, or how her mom spoons a little cappuccino foam in her mouth during their snack-time.

Melki as a verified reader also mention that nothing particularly groundbreaking here, just a sweet story about a little girl who looks forward to her Tuesday visit to the library. she loved the routine activities Lola and her mother indulge in during their weekly tri, these are the things that children will Aalways remember. she adored Rosalind Beardshaw's warm and cozy illustrations also add a nice touch.
