Review: Beautifully illustrated book. - This is a beautifully illustrated book with detailed and evocative monochrome drawings. The story is simple, the message timeless and thought provoking, and is relevant to children as it is to adults.
Review: Stays with you long after reading - I’m so thrilled to get my hands on this inspirational and motivational new release from @kobi The illustrations are breathtakingly striking, shading and sketching creating a beautiful backdrop from the valuable lesson delivered by the text. A young boy is inspired by a sculptor but his efforts fall victim to his own self criticism and self doubt. The sculptor guides the boy to be kinder to himself and the results are wonderful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dust Covers - I hate them!
*by D***S on 23 December 2021*

I hate dust covers. With today's technology, wrapped books Vs dust covers is a choice. The publisher's are bring cheap with their dust covers. Every time. Stop it! STAR RATING DOES NOT REFLECT QUALITY OF BOOK CONTENT, rather presentation.
