《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 5 UpTrauma, therapy, and healing are the intensely personal experiences that Lamb hopes to reach into with this book. She interviewed 50 Oklahoma City children, ages 3-15, to create a verbal collage of their thoughts and feelings following the April 1995 bombing, woven with her own sensitive narrative. No doubt the process was healing for the author and the childrenbut whether the book itself will heal remains to be seen. Compassion is clearly evident in the quotes and in Cooper's exquisitely warm, gentle, and hug-filled illustrations. Contrary to its visual appearance, this is not a book for young children, though the pictures and carefully chosen quotes could be shared with them. It is a valuable addition to libraries serving older children and adults who may well find it supportive to research on this historically significant event. This is a strong companion to Dear Oklahoma City, Get Well Soon (Walker, 1996), which combines letters from children outside Oklahoma City and comments from adults involved, and Clive Irving's In Their Name (Random, 1995), a far more detailed account of the event and the lives lost. One April Morning is, however, a labor of love, a thing of beauty, deeply evocative, and a beneficent memorial.Jody McCoy, Casady School, Oklahoma City (c) Copyright 2010.

Fifty Oklahoma City children, ranging in age from three to 14, offer their memories of and feelings about the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, whose 169 fatalities included 19 children and the parents of 100 others. Though Lamb (The Great Mosquito, Bull & Coffin Caper) did not interview any young people whose immediate family members were injured or killed in the blast, deeming them "still too fragile" to participate in the project, those quoted here were obviously profoundly touched by the tragedy and its chilling repercussions. "`The first night it rained, it seemed like God was crying, too,' said Emili." Without diminishing the horror of the disaster, Lamb introduces each section of quotes by describing a specific incident or event related to the bombing, conveying images deftly shaped for her young audience: "When the smoke cleared, the north side of the building looked like a giant had stomped his foot on it in a fit of rage, squashing steel, concrete, and marble into a pile of sorrow-filled rubble." Cooper's softly focused renderings of children, many in the embrace of a consoling adult, effectively serve as all-purpose, emotion-laden backdrops to the disquieting but ultimately life-affirming text. By so openly sharing their confusion, anguish, sadness and hope, the young contributors may well inspire their peers to communicate lingering, unspoken feelings about the tragedy. Ages 6-up. (Apr.)

Written by the children of Oklahoma City. A straightforward account of the events of the 1995 bombing is interspersed with quotes from children that echo the horror, grief, and confusion of the tragedy and offer simple suggestions for coping. Written in collaboration with teachers, clergy, and counselors, the book may be useful but is repetitive and sentimental. Cooper's gentle illustrations show adults and children grieving and healing.
