“This is a tender story, simple in terms of style, full of familiar images and descriptions of emotions well-known to young readers, a story which reveals the close relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. The text ventures to explain and interpret things that seem inexplicable to the eyes of young children, and which pertain to the needs of the working grandmother of today. The language is simple and evocative, the tone is spare and restrained.”
Tasoula Tsilimeni, Diadromes magazine, Issue 89, Summer 2010

“Makis Tsitas and Billy Rosen have produced a book that you will enjoy reading and will love from the very first moment. This is a tender story for children, but also for adults who haven’t stopped dreaming.”
Elpidoforos Intzempelis, Eneken magazine, Issue 14, October-November 2009

“This is a tender read, punctuated with a set of excellent colorful illustrations, a book which will attract much interest and which will deeply move the children to whom it is addressed. Such is the case, of course, with all the other books the two authors have previously published with great success as well.”
Dionysis Kostidis, Synchroni Skepsi newspaper, July-August 2009

“This is a tender story written with both awareness and sensitivity, a story which grandmothers will enjoy as well as they read it to their grandchildren.”
Litsa Psarafti, Diadromes magazine, Issue 93, Spring 2009

“All the tenderness and the richness of the bond between grandfathers, grandmothers and grandchildren, as well as the anxiety over death that concerns many children of that age, can serve as a good opportunity to re-examine, along with our children, both the feeling of love and the fear of loss.”
Maria Sfyroera, Ta Nea newspaper, 04/04/09

“Makis Tsitas continues unceasingly his wanderings in the world of children’s books. This sensitive, inventive, and resourceful in terms of conception and writing, creator offers yet another book that will entertain both children and adults alike, while also providing an opportunity for both to think about and better manage their respective roles. Tsitas cooperates with the internationally acclaimed writer Billy Rosen, and their partnership has produced an exceptional work.”
Kostas Balachoutis, Oasis magazine, March 2009

“Through a simple little story, the two authors manage to answer some of the questions small children have. They also manage to make adults think and wonder: In what ways do we offer happiness to our children? How much do we talk to and with them about the matters they ask us about and the questions they pose to us? How often do we try to look at things from their perspective? Do we sympathize with them, with their anxieties and fears? Do we remember, as often as we should, that we too were once kids?”
Eleni Argyriou, Rizospastis newspaper, 01/03/09

“This book discusses truly important matters, simply and clearly written, with feeling, and communicated humbly and sweetly, as with everything that is beautiful and precious. It describes a bond that is deep and sacred, the blessed and eternal relationship between a grandmother and a grandchild. All these elements are found in the works of the two authors, Billy Rosen and Makis Tsitas, both highly acclaimed in the field of children’s literature.”
