Publishers Weekly *Starred Review*
Digital artwork by Sanchez (Raisins and Almonds) radiates warmth and specificity as the girls interact with neighbors (¡°We sneak past grouchy Mr. Miller¡¯s door and wave to Mr. Soo¡±) and revel in their last moments in homes whose windows face one another...Landing on the moment of their parting grief adds poignancy to their vibrant connection, and a final page turn offers further joy to this portrait of two girls of color and their strong, resilient friendship.

The Horn Book *Starred Review*
Daniela¡¯s first-person, present-tense narration balances action and introspection, while in the illustrations the small, expressive figures of the two girls seem barely able to contain the deeply felt emotions, familiar to many children, that accompany loss and change. Sanchez¡¯s illustrations layer colorful patterns and textures with filigreed lines and corrugated cardboard collage; bright yellow beech leaves litter the girls¡¯ urban neighborhood, suggesting a season of transition. The final image of an older Daniela, seated on the floor of her room surrounded by letters from Evelyn, assures readers that, no matter what, you never forget your first ¡°mejor amiga.¡±

BookPage *Starred Review*
Newbery Medalist Meg Medina writes in the earnest and playful voice of a child, using uncomplicated words and a tone that¡¯s equal parts solemn and hopeful. Evelyn Del Rey Is Moving Away affirms feelings of sadness but provides assurance that true friendship--the kind built on sharing glittery stickers--endures.

Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *Starred Review*
Sanchez¡¯ digital art has a colored pencil and mixed media flair, and she¡¯s particularly gifted in conveying human dynamics through poses as the brown-skinned girls sprawl on the floor or dart through the building together hand in hand. While a final scene shows a grown Daniela smiling over a box of Evelyn memorabilia, that¡¯s by no means papering over the sadness of the parting, with both girls obviously and understandably griefstricken. It¡¯s that honesty that makes this book truly useful: while life goes on when friends separate, adults as well as kids benefit from recognition that friends are essential and that it¡¯s valid to mourn the departure of your ¡°numero uno best friend.¡±
