What They're Saying

Critics Review

“It’s a fresh take on the meta picture book, as well as a subtle commentary on freedom.” – School Library Journal’s Most Astonishingly Unconventional Children’s Books of 2016
“The beautiful and chaotic felt-tip-penned illustrations breathe life into this book, which is filled to the brim with eclectic characters.” – Unity Books

“A sophisticated picture book, with a subtle message about dictatorship, and how it is resolved peacefully, thought provoking.”

– Bookrapt
