Reviews

Rooted in classic fairy tales, and accompanied by dazzling illustrations, this story shows how kindness and generosity win out against greed and selfishness. * BookTrust *
Enchantingly illustrated. * Wall Street Journal *
Blending a 1970s palette with an aesthetic that feels right at home with contemporary indie comics, Smith makes an assured debut as she brings a fresh look to an old-fashioned story of fairies, goblins, and comeuppances. * Publishers Weekly *
Smiths lively illustrations fill each page with scratchy, loose figures, beautifully colored in a rich, saturated palette, all in an old-fashioned aesthetic that perfectly complements the timeless tale. * Booklist *
