Reviews:
'Jan De Kinder plays with prejudices about gender in this picture book. Jef is endearing in his surly pose, eyes focused only on the skateboard or blissfully closed as he whizzes through the air. Rosalie initially fulfills the stereotypical role of a bossy girl who imposes her will on others and does not tolerate other opinions. When they go on an adventure together, the differences fade away and they are both completely children' (Vanessa Joosen, De Standaard der Letteren)

'With few words but the right ones chosen, a particularly clever story is told. (...) a wonderful whole!' (Website Leesplezier.net)
