"A deceptively simple picture book that highlights routine, independence, and the small satisfactions of getting ready for the day."

"Ruzzier's loose watercolor and ink illustrations are expressive and energetic...This is a satisfying story with a self-determined pig creating her own perfect morning."

***STARRED REVIEW***

"Relying on his signature pen, ink, and watercolor illustrations, Ruzzier establishes a tone of domestic tranquility before upending it in one spectacularly joyous moment; this is an author who wholly understands both children's love of structure and their craving for pure chaos. Get ready--young readers will be clamoring for this book. Storytime perfection."

***STARRED REVIEW***

"Delicate ink and watercolor illustrations render each small act with measured, understated wit, establishing the porcine protagonist as a figure who's as orderly as her neat-as-a-pin surroundings. By the time Rosie is finally ready to face the world, readers may feel they know her through and through. But every step in this little gem is a setup for a triumphant, laugh-out-loud turn that goes whole hog on embracing all facets of one's nature."
