"..As an older protagonist, Mr. Yes demonstrates that adults make mistakes, too, and that learning continues into adulthood. Gil (Kibo and the Purple Dragon) concludes with sly encouragement. Saying no, she points out, is a physical skill that can be learned: “Wrinkle up your nose and purse your lips, just like you’re going to give someone a kiss.” ~ Publishers Weekly
"Sometimes the smallest words are the hardest to say, and 'no' is downright impossible for the ever agreeable Mister Yes.(...) Gil delivers a humorous cautionary tale that unfolds through a creative mix of soft edges and sharp angles, encouraging children, teens and adults to speak honestly and with confidence." ~ Foreword Reviews
