Reviews
"Mar Pavn and Nvola Uy present an ingenious witty story that humorously vindicates the role of women in areas where it is still surprising to see them, such as agricultural work. A picture book that encourages readers to choose their destiny freely and without prejudice." --Canal Lector
"A Very, Very Noisy Tractor is an original and funny story with a playful text that inevitably brings to mind the well-known saying "Sticks and stones". It is that in situations like the one presented, only children, with their open mind and their free spirit, see things as they are and, for that very reason, they deserve to be heard. --Un periodista en el bolsillo
