-ALA Booklist
* ALA Booklist *“The more I read this book the more I wanted to read it again because every time I looked at it again I noticed a new drawing or found something to use in my own writing. This is an important story to tell because lots of bad things are happening to our world currently and it reminds us of what we need to do to help our planet”
-Lottie, Books Up North, Kid Reviewer
* Books Up North *“A perfect pairing – John Agard’s poetry that demands to be performed (you can hear his voice), Piet Grobler's vibrant colours and characters leaping off the page. A passionate contemporary message brought to life with humour. A book that really does stand out”
