Banana

“A cautionary tale about overreliance on devices that’s sure to be the apple of many readers’ eyes.” —Kirkus Reviews

”[A] visually striking allegory about the dismay and jealousy a child may feel over change — and this young protagonist’s triumph gives the tale a sense of dark, unexpected gratification.” —Publishers Weekly

“Abbott succeeds in conveying the see-saw nature of childhood. One minute, a parent is attentive to your needs. Then, he becomes immersed in some pointless activity. Naturally, readers might see a reverse metaphor in the story, as any parent frustrated by a child’s inattentiveness will recognize. In Abbott’s world, the generations are not in contradiction; they might exchange roles.” —Imaginary Elevators
