Reviews

Praise for Zoogie Boogie Fever!

"Rim's exuberant, mixed-media illustrations combine splashy watercolors, cut and torn paper, and photo collage, all in appropriately robust and colorful hues...will have little readers doing free-form boogies of their own."

Praise for Birdie's Big-Girl Shoes written and illustrated by Sujean Rim:

"The drawings retain a trendy fashion feel through an emphasis on spare lines and heavy patterns, but the playfulness of the details...heightens the appeal for those yearning for more sophistication than what’s offered by Jane O’Connor’s Fancy Nancy. [Birdie's] conclusion...seems a fine, age-appropriate response, an antidote to any undue expectations that childhood be rushed through. How refreshing." -- Booklist

"The bold, stylized watercolor and collage illustrations, paired with spare, simple text, are set against ample white space and burst with bright, attractive textile patterns." -- School Library Journal
