Media Reviews
"Written with a narrative framework reminiscent of folktales, the story proceeds at a measured pace to its resoundingly happy ending. The artwork, created in watercolor, gouache, and ink, features richly detailed, imaginatively realized settings in sixteenth-century Venice." * Booklist *
'richly detailed illustrations by Jane Ray makes the most of the beauty of the city... An uplifting story to put a smile on everyone's face.' * Parents in Touch *
"Rich illustrations, a familiar fairy-tale structure, and an upbeat message make this story a visually attractive, comfortable read." * Kirkus Reviews *
"Include this book as part of a story hour featuring Italian lore or encourage slightly older readers to search for stories that feature similar motifs" * School Library Connection *
