Reviews

"A winning example of less is more." -- Kirkus Reviews (US) "[This book] is all about taking risks and believing in yourself - plus the power of friendship." -- Best Books 2014, The Listener (NZ) "Koennecke's single-plane vignettes are gems of minimalist visual humor ... handled with a light touch and easy-going reassurance." -- Starred Review, Publishers Weekly (US)
