Critical Reviews

“…This is a brilliant short story which manages to effortlessly communicate its message with only a few words. We have all felt the way the hero does. We all understand him. He is convincing to us.”
Vasilis Koutsiaris, kosvoice.gr, 18/09/12

“What makes all the difference in Makis Tsitas’s writing is his talent: his gift, which is not given to all, to express in a simple and ingenious manner as much of the magic contained in simple meanings and feelings as language can possibly capture. What also distinguishes him from other writers is the honest love with which he listens to children’s souls (perhaps because he manages to lovingly safe-guard his own personal childhood memories), and his interest in facilitating his young readers’ safe socialization in a world that the crueler it becomes, the darker it renders the little corners in which one may fit one’s own truth.”
Stavroula Tsouprou, Avgi tis Kyriakis newspaper, 12/08/12

“It is obvious by now that Makis Tsitas has found the recipe for success in the writing of very successful children’s books, a recipe which is none other than refusing to walk the usual, widely travelled, and conventional roads. This effectively means that he takes things as they happen in everyday life and transfers them to his book, reproducing thus a reality that is the reality of children. And by means of a seemingly simple narrative, he offers the solution to the problem posed.”
Anthoula Daniil, Antifonitis newspaper, 18/06/12

“Yet another children’s book by Makis Tsitas that adeptly manages to win over the reader. Through his wisdom and skill, Tsitas continues along the creative path of a writer whose work is already established.”
Elpidoforos Intzempelis, Eneken magazine, May-June 2012

“Makis Tsitas has his own way of approaching really young children and of entering their psyche. Hence, every time a book of his is published, it is always a surprise.”
