It eloquently celebrates our common humanity and nurtures the values of kindness, compassion and tolerance ... Absolutely beautiful in both appearance and content and highly recommended." * The Book Bag * "We need stories to help children develop empathy for others, because it is our only hope to develop a caring a tolerant society of the future" * The Bookseller * "Resonant, compassionate and enriched by evocative monochrome images" * The Sunday Times * "Lewis writes a powerful story, an intelligent conversation between myth and crude reality that wakes you up with a cold splash" - picked as the Times Book of the Week * The Saturday Times *
