Reviews

At first glance, readers may assume this is an art book with lots of circles and patterns. Once they begin reading, they will see it is the story of how languages can be subsumed by others. . . . a story that works on many levels for ­various ages, from a simple fable about greed to a wake-up call to value linguistic diversity.
--School Library Journal (starred review)

Each 'story' is represented as a softly washed watercolor circle floating against a white background and filled with character-based patterns. . . extensive back matter reveals a vast array of writing systems, and makes the case for their preservation.
--Publishers Weekly

This poignant tale is an ode to preserving cultures and stories from around the world.
