” A book filled with warmth, togetherness, connection and empathy.”

“Being an anti-racist starts with listening to the experiences of others. Read books (…) and tell their stories to your child.”

“This book is a jewel!”

“What a beautiful book with a marvellous message this is!”

“Nice counting book on a current social theme.”

“A counting book with a valuable message? It can be done.”

“…[the] story follows along the numbers 1 to 10, a very simple technique that works perfectly here… It is beautiful to see and to read how naturally the new children are welcomed into the class and the football team. Moreover both of these groups are very diverse and colorful.”

“Dit prachtige prentenboek, waar heel veel (vluchtelingen)kinderen en volwassenen iets aan zullen hebben waardeer ik graag met 5 sterren.”

“Special picture book about helping refugees while learning to count from 1 to 10. In the first spread, a mother and her young children are fleeing a war situation. The reader is succinctly introduced to what is happening but at the same time offered hope and direction.”

“The beauty of this book is its simplicity…The [illustrations and text] reinforce each other in their message and get straight to the essence in a charming way…The author is donating 10% of her income from the book to Amnesty International. A small but very important gesture for a hopeful future.”
