Rezensionen
"Gorgeously illustrated, Paradise Sands is a modern fairy-tale. [...] It's mysterious and each page feels heavy with underlying messages to decode. While the story isn't particularly long - it will fly by at bedtime - children will get lost in the ghostly tale and cinematic illustrations. 8/10 Prudence Wade 'Children's Book of the Week', the Independent, syndicated in Northern Echo, Dundee Courier, East Anglian Daily Times, Eastern Daily Press, and Dorset Living
