Awards & Accolades

"With its folkloric elements, positive but not preachy message about sharing, and strong visual presentation, this will make an excellent read-aloud... The sumptuous, stylized, full-bleed, double-page acrylic paintings, with jewellike colors dominated by blues are a delight, with their swirling designs and Slavic details" — Kirkus Reviews

“...the story, whose theme is familiar, brings new insight into the isolation that selfishness can create. Lovely and magical” — Booklist

"An evocative, allegorical story about becoming trapped by one’s desires" – Publishers Weekly
