Revue de presse

'Just as the Tear Thief takes away children's tears and, in so doing, lessens the causes of them, so this dreamy and poetic story will have a calming effect on all those who hear it.' --The Guardian

'The varied angles and perspectives give a real sense of flying, and the delicate brushwork conveys to perfection the moistness of tears, glitter of puddles, and sparkle of stars.' --Scholastic Child Education Plus

'When the Tear Thief comes upon a little girl crying because she has lost her dog, she befriends the girl and dries her tears. As the story progresses, young listeners may begin to wonder why the Tear Thief collects tears and what she does with them, and in a soothing resolution, they find out.' --Booklist
