Reviews
"Valério's visual storytelling will excite the eyes and warm the hearts of viewers young and old."
"Valério's memorable artwork and imaginative power give this lighthearted tale extra impact through meticulous spreads that produce a sense of sprightly life and warmth."
"Perfect for lap sits or story hours, this works on a couple of levels: as a silly tale of a human raised by a bird, but also to reaffirm that loving families come in all shapes and sizes."
"Valério shows off his skill with design and collage in this wordless story about the many forms a family can take."
"No words are needed to tell this lovely tale. Bold colors, well-constructed collage work and exceptional posing will encourage discussion."
"Especially and unreservedly recommended for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library collections."
"The Egg is a wordless picture book, but, in the hands of an artist with the skill of Valério, the pictures certainly do tell a thousand words."
