'Azizi and the Little Blue Bird' […] looks and sounds like a story from the Arabian Nights, but also suggests every current thought-policing regime in the world. (The Sunday Times)
The beautiful illustrations perfectly match the tone of the book and will allow younger children to follow the story. A fabulous way to introduce cultural diversity to multicultural readers. (BookTrust)
