Praise for I'm Gonna Climb a Mountain...
"This enthusiastic take on girl power embraces having it all-with both strength and style."
--School Library Journal

"Singer's story crackles with humor and attitude, its driving rhythms making it an infectious read-aloud. Avril's busy illustrations, using pastel chalk over a pencil outline, display a range of bright colors and have a slightly dreamy cast, as if they came right out of Sadie's head. So can a girl rough it in ruffles? Silly question."
--Kirkus Reviews
