Praise for Told and Retold: Around the World with Aesop’s Fables:
 
“The stories are short and sweet, but better than the neat retellings are the beautiful block-print illustrations…Gorgeously crafted wordless pages between subsets of stories give readers a chance to pause and reflect…A vivid, charming take on these beloved fables.” –Kirkus
