Praise

Mistry’s ink and digital art is truly stunning, mixing several different contrasting patterns. Inspired by her Indian heritage, she has created mesmerizing, abstract shapes that come together in a dazzling landscape of swirls and deep colors that evoke the natural elements. Never verging on didactic, the text has a lovely flow to it, with a fablelike structure that finds Panther learning an important lesson about seeing the true beauty in himself. An eye-catching, elegantly illustrated, and tenderly told tale of burgeoning self-confidence.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Rich colors and spellbinding patterns add a dreamlike quality to this fable about being true to yourself.
—Foreword Reviews

The steady pace, formal tone, and regal subject lend this folkloric tale a satisfyingly performative flair, but the true drama comes in the stylized, intricate illustrations that have a crisp, stamp-like precision, rife with geometric patterning and movement.
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
