"Writing in the style of a traditional folk tale, Isern has crafted a gentle story of camaraderie and magic with a light dose of ecology. Hilb’s colorful art creates a fairy-tale world with spotted mushrooms, swirls of crayon lines and miniature domiciles that will delight young readers. Friendship, crafting and a touch of magic all in one.” —Kirkus Reviews"A very impressive and uplifting story for little ones with its sweet characters, colorful pages and admirable message” —PicPocket Books"The readers of this picture book will be able to discover values such as solidarity and peer collaboration.” —Canal Lector"A story with such important values as friendship, generosity and cooperation, that also emphasizes the importance of dreams and imagination. (…) It then encourages us not only to pursue our dreams and enjoy them, but also to understand the importance of priorities and the ability to sacrifice that sometimes we need to have when satisfying a need more important than ours.” —Literatura respetuosa"A sweet charming story that will bring out the best in every reader and will make them want to help others. A book that teaches us values, to enjoy dreams but above all to share with those who need it most.” —Coleccionando cuentos"Susanna Isern’s stories should be prescribed as therapy: when one feels sad or a little demoralized at the unpleasant events that occur around us, stories like this one have the ability to reconcile us with the world.” —Apegoyliteratura
