Review quotes

"A grand story wrapped up in delicious packaging. The translation is still light on its feet and enjoyable to the ear. Better still are Wimmer's effervescent illustrations, which dance about the text, bringing it fully to life." —Kirkus Reviews

"A picture book that win our hearts by the beauty of its images and the tenderness of its history. A story of overcoming starring a girl who, due to her condition, develops the rest of her senses with greater intensity. Especially her smell will help her to move around the world in the dark. This book conveys a powerful message: we can all do special things, if we are able to enhance our gifts." —Apegoyliteratura

"A moving story that from the beginning and in a poetic way explore how blindness becomes a strength, since the young protagonist develops in an extraordinary way other senses that she explores and shares with everyone. Sonja Wimmer's soft, expressive, tender, delicate, colorful illustrations, full of infinite nuances, dance in perfect balance with a text that conveys pure emotion. Simply exquisite, with a very sweet flavor." —El árbol rojo, a Children's Literature Magazine.

"Tenderness, kindness, simplicity and charm mixed together transformed into a deep story in a picture book format. A tale that we should all read and know. Where there's a will there's a way, and once again, there is no room for the impossible." —Locura de lectura
