“Call Me Sunflower is one of those rare books that settles into your very core and stays with you long after you finish the last page. Sunny's story will captivate your heart, oftentimes break it, but ultimately heal it together with a warm hug filled with the promise of hope.” —Brooks Benjamin, author of My Seventh-Grade Life in Tights

“Sunny’s story is heartfelt and hopeful, and it's a poignant reminder that families don't have to be perfect to be full of love.” —Gail Nall, author of Breaking the Ice and Out of Tune

“Readers will be both heartbroken and warmed by the way Sunny views the world and her attempts to change it. This is a story of love, family, resilience, and grief—themes that resonate with many. Sunny is a relatable heroine with a noble cause that readers won't soon forget.” —Erin Entrada Kelly, author of Hello, Universe

“A beautifully told and at times poignant story about how difficult it can be for children to navigate their changing world. Franklin’s Sunflower is a lovable, creative character, and her attempts to reunite her parents, make new friendships, and form a bond with her grandmother will have readers glued to the page and heartened by the story’s themes of love and resilience.” —Wendy McLeod MacKnight, author of It's a Mystery, Pig Face!

“A moving and realistic story . . . Sunflower shines with emotion, convincing dialogue, and relatable characters.” —Atlanta Journal-Constitutional

“Although even preteens may shake their heads at the way Sunny refuses to accept a new reality . . . they’ll appreciate how she gradually discovers that she needs to deal with things the way they are and that even if circumstances change, she can still count on the people around her to come through for her.” —School Library Journal
