      Reception


      Booklist, in a review of A Million Fish, called it "a joyful story about storytelling" and concluded "Rooted in the words and landscape of Louisiana's Bayou Clapateaux, this celebrates that we all live in "a mighty peculiar place." Entertainment Weekly wrote: "Dena Schutzer’s paintings swirl with movement and high-spirited fun, and Patricia McKissacks’ narrative is expansive, evocative, and tangy with Southern-flavored dialect. In all, a fine read-aloud for a hot summer day."
      A Million Fish has also been reviewed by Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly,
