"In her engaging story, Pells writes rhyming couplets that have a nicely regular meter and vivid word choices" —Kirkus Reviews ? "A sensitive picture book that encourages the use of one’s inner resources to confront, and conquer, fear." —Foreword Reviews ? Meet Ella McBella, energetic and imaginative!
