Children's writer Betsy Bowen wrote, "Britta's Journey  is a terrifically engaging story of the daily life of an immigrant family's travels  from their home in Finland to New York ...a very personal understanding, from a child's point of view, of the courage of the people who established the country we live in."

St. Paul writer Margot Fortunato Galt wrote, "Britta's varied encounters with British fruit-sellers, steamship agents, and other immigrant families dramatize her growing  sensitivity to culture, living quarters (a railroad car for a while) and her own mother and siblings. Their safe arrival and reunion with Papa is hard-won and very touching."
