Urgent second-person lines invest readers in the protagonist's effort prove as elegant as the visuals of Gregory moving fluidly across a range of landscapes. It's a compassionate, powerfully told portrait.

- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

This collaborative picture book--cowritten with Gregory's son--joyfully brings its subject's voice to the mic... The work's final question becomes a moving call to action--both to the Black child seen next to Gregory and to readers themselves. Morrison's dynamic artwork is a feast for the eyes, with detailed brushstrokes rendering bodies in motion, gorgeous scenery, and expressive faces. - Kirkus (starred review)

Powerful prose and majestic pictures will profoundly move anyone who encounters this commemoration of a 1976 cross-country run for hunger by activist and comedian Dick Gregory.

- Booklist (starred review)

Barnes and Christian Gregory bring awareness to the problem of hunger in the United States. The use of second person allows readers to feel like they are a part of the trek, while Morrison's oil paintings provide a realistic interpretation of Gregory's run and the suffering of those experiencing hunger. - The Horn Book Inc.

Helpful coverage of an overlooked example of social activism; useful for lessons on civic engagement and role models. - Suzanne Costner, ​​​​​​​School Library Journal (starred review)
