Write the book you want to write, not the book someone else wants you to write. They have the right not to like it, and they don’t have to buy it but they do not have the right to tell you want to write. – Jane Yolen

Although set in faraway Sri Lanka, Fullerton’s rhythmic tale holds a universal message: that even the smallest and youngest among us can summon up the courage to face, and overcome, the most gargantuan challenges.
A beautiful introduction to life and culture on a little-known island nation—and a delightful read whether for the first or the 100th time.”
