Recensioner i media

A celebration of colours, culture and connection ... For children who have been raised in the diaspora especially South Asian children, this text is not just an ordinary picture book but rather an invaluable connection to their roots ... This publication from Bloomsbury Children’s Books is one of the growing recognitions of the urgent need for different stories in children’s literature.
