★ “[A] witty epistolary classroom drama… [A] sparkling examination of messy feelings and meaningful apologies.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
 
★ “Lukoff brings an enormous sense of compassion to a lesson that even adults can struggle with.” —BCCB, starred review

“A layered, diversely cast children’ book about how to apologize properly is a must-read for kids of all ages.” People Magazine

★ “An incredible conversation starter… I’m Sorry You Got Mad goes a long way in teaching children the different ways an apology can sound, the ways it can fall flat, and the ways we can repair and restore beloved friendships. Julie Kwon’s expressive character illustrations will help readers identify the difference between anger, regret and remorse.”BookPage, starred review
