'Highly recommended'!

A great review for The Red Piano in the November issue of Reading Time, the Children’s Book Council of Australia‘s official journal. Here’s an excerpt:

This is a moving story made more powerful by the striking illustrations in shades of black, sepia, cream and bold slashes of red with strong Asian influences throughout the art work. Overall, a book to evoke a strong emotion. Highly recommended.

Reading Time comes out quarterly and is great resource on new books for parents, teachers and librarians—and, at only $51.95 a year, it’s very good value too.
