AWARDS & REVIEWS

Reviews

"A victory for any reader who struggles to be heard, even metaphorically."

Kirkus Reviews, 15/01/2010

"Shy, quiet kids will take heart at Willow’s small victories."

Quill & Quire, 30/04/2010

"Limited text and simple sentences, combined with a strong character who solves her own problems, make this a successful selection."

School Library Journal, 01/05/2010

"There is nothing cloying about the sweetness of this book. The playful use of font sizes, the simply drawn, brightly colored figures and, most of all, the perfect pitch of its text, see to that."

The Globe and Mail, 08/05/2010
