Trade Review“A story of hope and the power of imagination […]” * The Bookseller *
“This dreamy story reveals more – and rewards more – the longer you look at the illustrations. You feel like you have stepped into one of Frida Kahlo's own paintings. Everywhere, there are surreal little touches (a cactus with arms, a plane made of fruit); everything infused with a sunburnt, stone-baked palette. Not only will any grown-up Frida Kahlo fans love this book, but plenty of children will relate to its themes of bullying and belonging, imagination and hope.” * BookTrust *
“Themes of belonging, creativity and hope resonate through the book. This beautiful picture book is a worthy tribute to an iconic artist.” * Parents in Touch *
