'This is a beautifully illustrated gentle story about a gnome who
befriends a giant thus, saving all the gnomes in his forest. Pico
takes the gentle approach when confronted by the menacing giant and
the world is saved. This might be a good choice to read to young
children if bullying needs to be addressed. A great story to read
to little ones.'
--Youth Services Book Review
'The story itself is simple, well told and engaging. It clearly
tells young readers that conflict often arises from
misunderstandings, from a lack of empathy for others ways of life
and ideas, and that there are alternatives to force to resolve
these situations. As a text to discourage bullying and violence,
and instead urge collaboration and compromise it puts many
persuasive points for adults as well as children.'
-- Armadillo
'Beautiful full-page color illustrations by the author accompany a
tale of a gnome who co-exists peacefully in his forest home until
his blissful sleep is interrupted. Kids will enjoy the gentle
story, lovely drawings, and unexpected results of Pico's
encounter.'
-- Midwest Book Review
