"A two-in-one book, where learning to count goes hand in hand with learning to count on others by showing solidarity."

Julie Curien BBthèque, books for small children

"Without denying the reality, (the book) sketches the moments that secure, reassure and comfort the two children. Even far from home, you can admire the stars."
