What They're Saying

Critics Review

“The gentle balance of colour and emotion reveal memories and the child’s growing understanding that he need not fear strangers who appear gruff and scruffy, different and intimidating. That beneath the obvious differences of a person, there often dwells a story worth sharing and a reason to love. This is a mighty concept to grasp in our modern day world … it promotes a phenomenal sense of humanity, of not judging a book by its cover.”“The common theme among all the memories and relationships is the element of love and longing for those we love when we’re apart; and how sharing and basking in memories can make us feel connected with those we long to have near.”“Looks at differences with compassionate eyes.” * Educating Young Children *
