"…Neon color-and-line illustrations flow across spreads, engagingly
depicting the landscape, people, the cultural milieu…A delightful
introduction to the archipelago's rich and varied culture." —School
Library Journal
"The stories are fun and full of action, and the illustrations are
bright and colorful. This book is full of eight stories that share
a bit about the cultures of Indonesia as well as the life lessons
that so many of our own stories share." —Crafty Moms Share blog
"I absolutely love each one of these (and so do the chicks, for all
they are 10 & 12 now) and recommend them for bedtime stories,
afternoon stories, or really stories any time. The format and
length make them great for reading aloud as well as quietly." —The
