Critics Review
Alessi’s vivid and colourful illustrations put light and life into the minotaur’s tumultuous journey to find a place he can truly call home and kin he can call his own. A beautiful retelling full of heart and compassion. – Pam Norfolk * Lancashire Post *
A moving story that celebrates difference and how love’s power can overcome animosity and malevolence. Gais Alessi’s mixed media illustrations capture the siblings’ feelings superbly as well as beautifully evoking the natural world so loved by Asterion and his family. – Jill R Bennett * Red Reading Hub *
