Critics Review
“This collection of poems and songs also comes with beautiful illustrations – so is a great coffee table book. Pick it up anytime for something through-provoking and feel good. If you tend to find poetry a little heavy, this is a great choice as the art helps to make things a little more accessible” * Metro *
