“What a wonderful book. Beautiful rhyming, adorable illustrations and such a sweet and touching message about moving to a new place and having to learn a new language.” – Quely

“At first I thought this book would be most suited to children who are bilingual and although this will definitely be a great story for them, it is suitable for any child. The illustrations are beautiful and really help bring the story to life. The author's simple, but effective narrative is perfect for children and enjoyable for adults to read to young children. An educational bonus to reading the book is that it really helps the reader understand what some bilingual children may feel like.” – Mrs V L Cooper

“We recently moved from the UK to Switzerland and it was a difficult transition for my 3.5 year old. She speaks Swiss German ok now but still doesn't like playdates with German speaking children. This story is helping her a lot to work through her own fears and feelings. She keeps asking for the story again and again and we always have a good chat afterwards about our own situation. Stories can be immensely powerful for little children, and this one is both beautiful to read and very helpful for preparing for an international move.” – Franziska Wick
