Reviews

"A truly original picture-book, celebrating the transformative potential of art and friendship."
Irish Times, Robert Dunbar

"It just seems to dig a little deeper than many other picture books. A hint of Salvador Dali to the backdrops."
Teach Primary Magazine

"Beautifully colourful and humorous, with a wise message."
The School Librarian

"Artwork is wonderful. Lots of humour. Lovely story to share repeatedly."
Bookbag

"Sophisticated and playful, this beautiful mind-stretcher invites viewers to think about art's fundamentals: line, color, shape, and imaginative freedom."
