I really loved it. Roxie and Romeo are so different (just as people are so different ) and their personalities come across superbly. We also experience the care and love they have for each other. The illustrations are lovely and whimsical. – Jane Gillis, Retired Special Collections Librarian, Beinecke Library, Yale University
“What a story! Speaks to the heart of all that matters. The author has managed to capture my attention from the beginning to the end. It is only when I finished reading that I realized I had learnt so much from this story. Brilliant!” – Gabriel Dinda, Founder and Executive Director, Writers Guild-Kenya
