Recenzii

Sarah Brennans work is a meeting between traditional Asian narratives and the universal taste of children for graphic stories. The tale-telling gifts shown in these books, along with the exuberance of the language and rhymes, make them unique in childrens literature. Thomas Keneally, Booker Prize-winning author of Schindlers Ark
