      This one is a winner. It looks like a graphic novel, meant for young people … It’s such a big, beautiful book. The illustrations are stunning.

    6. Storywraps (NZ)

      The characters are very well portrayed and the fabulous pictures could stand all on their own.

    7. Publishers Weekly (US)

      A search for a boy’s grandmother in a large metropolitan hospital provides a startlingly honest look at the lives of sick people … It’s not the usual child enters- hospital comfort book; it’s more a child’s-eye view of the mystery of ill health itself.

      The pictures tell the story in this beautifully, distinctively designed book.
