Reviews

"We need folktales in our collections that shake things up a bit. That aren't afraid to get original with the source material. That aren't afraid to get, quite frankly, beautiful on us. The pairing of Subramaniam and Fox is inspired and the book a lush treat. An Aesop necessity. Aesop done right." - Elizabeth Bird SLJ Blog
