"Pak’s well-executed first appearance as both author and illustrator offers a warm welcome to fall." —The Horn Book, starred review, on Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn

"A visual success conjuring up the best about the seasons’ changes." —Kirkus Reviews, on Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn
"The focus is on the natural world, but Pak (Flowers Are Calling) celebrates city life, too, with drawings of diverse townspeople . . . that show a rainbow of a community. It’s a thoughtful look at the kind of change that unfolds almost imperceptibly." —Publishers Weekly, on Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn
