Reviews / Votes
It's a bit like an eastern European arthouse version of the Mr Men series - and I mean that in a good way... Who needs colour when you have drawings this charming? * Times Best Children's Books of 2025 * It is as beautiful, funny and weird as Pixar's cartoon Inside Out was banal. This is my picture book of the year. -- Amanda Craig * New Statesman, Best Children's Books for Christmas 2025 * There's enough depth and complexity there to interest a child of any age * The Times, Children's Book of the Week * A charming catalogue of emotions that puts both bad and good feelings in their place, illustrated by rounded friendly monsterly creatures in shaded charcoal sketches that are easy on the tired eye * Irish Times * Imagines what happens to our emotions when evening falls: Wisdom works through the night while Rebellion goes out dancing and Hope doesn't sleep. She tends the fire she lit with her last match. It's heavenly * Irish Independent * Evocative and completely enchanting... Seemingly simple, yet vast in its depiction of feelings both positive and negative * Shelf Editions * Praise for the series: * _ * A delightful, warm-hearted picture book... Zajac's grey, dense-textured creatures, with their expressive ears and limbs, are reminiscent of Sendak's, with a charm all their own * Guardian * Makes you want to turn each page for a new discovery... The book is a confirmation for children (and adults) of the universality of emotions - and is therefore comforting and also offers a springboard for them to talk about how they feel * Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week * A delicate and delightful way to explore big feelings with small children * i * An absolutely gorgeous picturebook... that I believe deserves a place on everyone's bookshelf... It has provoked conversations with my little one about how we respond to the world around us * Storytime with Hannah and Patrick *More details
