Reviews

"It is a lovely, positive story about being content with what you can do and the abilities you have. The artwork carries the humour, playfulness and lightness in the story, which the text effectively and succinctly pins down." – (Danish Library Centre (Dansk Bibliotekscenter)

"There is a symbiosis between the happy, colourful and humouristic illustrations and the very sparse text. It bears witness to a close collaboration. The text can be read in the artwork, the text is part of the artwork, just as the artwork tells as story that supports the text significantly. What a wonderful experience." – Eiler Jensen (Children & Books (Børn og bøger)
