*"By sharing his experience, explained in an afterword, Beaty lends his voice to children struggling with the absence of a parent and the grief that goes with it."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"The text, powerful and spare, is well supported by Collier's watercolor and collage art...there is a lot going on in the mind of any child who has been denied a parent, for whatever reason. In this book they will find comfort and inspiration."--The Horn Book

"The desire for guidance encountering life's experiences is told from a small child's point of view with candor, as well as hope...."--Booklist

"The intimate nature of the text and the detailed visual environment are more suited for close sharing than a storytime, but the book's versatility suggests that it will see extended use."--The Bulletin

"Bryan Collier's richly textured illustrations and the lyricism of Beaty's text-with its echoes of spoken-word poetry-make this story of bereavement also a story of possibility and beauty."--The New York Times Sunday Book Review

"Challenging but ultimately uplifting, Knock Knock is a thoughtful meditation on grappling with the sometimes uneasy legacy passed down to us by our parents."--The Huffington Post

"A poignant [and] heart-wrenching tale of love, loss, and hope."--School Library Journal
