REVIEWS
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}
