Recensioner i media

“[Castrillón’s] wild drawings carry a decorative impulse to unexpected heights. … Each page turn reveals a new way of deploying hallucinogenic wonder across a two-page spread. This, too, is a definition of beautiful.”—New York Times“This stunningly illustrated picture book … shows the wonder in tiny, overlooked things.”—Booklist STARRED Review“Beauty's in the eye of the beholder in this unique tale ... Decorative illustrations... offer a striking example.”—Kirkus Reviews“Gorgeous ...filled with lush, dramatic, and eye-catching illustrations …. would work well as a read-aloud due to the large size [and] also be an excellent choice for bedtime reading. The cover ... will encourage students to pull it off the shelf to enjoy.”—School Library Connection
