"Jules presents a plethora of possibilities as the theme of children at play provides the structure for a collection of poems that encourage and applaud. . . . [E]ach poem flows easily as a brief vignette that captures just the right sentiment and spirit. . . . Fun and games, with something deeper to think about." -- Kirkus Reviews, January 21, 2020.
