From the Kirkus review of The Year of Billy Miller (2013): "Henkes offers what he so often does in these longer works for children: a sense that experiences don't have to be extraordinary to be important and dramatic. Billy's slightly dreamy interior life isn't filled with either angst or boisterous silliness--rather, the moments that appear in these stories are clarifying bits of the universal larger puzzle of growing up, changing and understanding the world. Small, precise black-and-white drawings punctuate and decorate the pages. Sweetly low-key and totally accessible."
Quotes
It wasn't unusual for Sal to interrupt Billy when he was having a perfectly satisfactory private moment. (50)
"Sometimes I wish I could see the world through your eyes, Billy Miller." (Mama, 53)
He didn't like it when adults got thoughtful and mushy about growing up the way they often did. He didn't think he would ever do that. He wanted to be grown up....To do whatever he wanted to do all day long. (78)
...it wasn't scary any longer because he understood it....One by one, Papa had addressed Billy's worries until they'd fizzled. Until they were gone. (Billy, after Papa explains the basement sounds to him, 90-91) ( )
