Reviews
"A completely irresistible pearl of a picture book about finding a family where you feel safe. The illustrations are charming and expressive and you fall head over heels in love with Donna. The many linguistic repetitions and the author's word play give a rhythm to the story which the child will quickly recognise and which makes the picture book a pleasure to read aloud." – (Danish Library Review (Lektørudtalelse))
"Merete Pryds Helle’s new picture book about the puppy, Donna, is an exceptional stray journey into the world of the senses (...) As the summary shows, “Donna finds her way home” is not a big drama compared to what is otherwise happening in the world. And there is also no shortage of picture books about small, lost animals. But the way the goods are handled here: Donna’s puppy naivety in her approach to the world, transformed into Charlotte Pardi’s imaginative and sensuous imagery, is exceptionally fun and energetic." – (Five hearts in Politiken)
