Reviews
Maecenas gravida dui a magna fermentum vulputate. Orci varius natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Sed iaculis sollicitudin sit amet.
Literature at its finest. Sharp, poetic, dark, with glimmers of light here and there . . . Like the Iliad, descriptions are lush and moving. Instead of the gods and goddesses of the Iliad, this book has angels and demons. Unlike the Iliad, characters in the Wake Up are relatable and nuanced.
— Deborah Kaminski
A perfectly dark and brilliantly bleak book . . . A fantastic bit of satire that did a very good job at holding a mirror to the world around us.
— Andrew Gracey
This book is as insightful, heartfelt, and beautifully illustrated a children’s book as you will ever read! It is a book every grandparent would love to receive from their child and one every 2-5-year-old child with grandparents would enjoy having read to them
— Mark Bitz
Beautfully illustrated . . . A lovely picture book about unconditional love between grandparents and grandchildren [that] highlights the importance of one’s own history and traditions. We learn the importance of these from our grandparents who have the wisdom, the patience and the time to impart these lessons to their grandchildren.
— Ann Birdgenaw
“A heartwarming must-read for any family expecting a new addition to their household . . . Beautifully illustrated and designed to help children understand the concept of sharing their parents’ love.
— Midwest Book Review
“Original, rhythmic, and told with an artful poetic flair . . . Creative, dreamlike, and lovely . . . [This book will] capture a chlid’s imagination and show them the beauty of abstract feelings and new things.”
— Independent Book Review
Lovely and lively in the telling.
— NPR’s Voice of Books
“A mesmerizing tale, weaving ancient and 20th century pasts with the present. In the hellish night of war, the artist heroine and her Greek island community show how long-treasured traditions create a refuge from war’s inhumanity, provide non-lethal weapons in the fight for survival, and offer hope to those suffering unimaginable loss. Deeply detailed scenes of life’s dailyness—dark coffee at the kafenio, steaming spanakopita fresh from ovens, sticky summer figs, sonorous chants sung before icon-rich altars—recreate miracles at every turn.”
