"Valério’s visual storytelling will excite the eyes and warm the hearts of viewers young and old." - Kirkus Reviews - STARRED REVIEW

"Valério’s memorable artwork and imaginative power give this lighthearted tale extra impact through meticulous spreads that produce a sense of sprightly life and warmth." - Publishers Weekly

"Perfect for lap sits or story hours, this works on a couple of levels: as a silly tale of a human raised by a bird, but also to reaffirm that loving families come in all shapes and sizes." - Booklist – STARRED REVIEW

"Valério shows off his skill with design and collage in this wordless story about the many forms a family can take." - The Horn Book

"No words are needed to tell this lovely tale. Bold colors, well-constructed collage work and exceptional posing will encourage discussion." - Sal's Fiction Addiction

"Especially and unreservedly recommended for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library collections." - Midwest Book Review

"The Egg is a wordless picture book, but, in the hands of an artist with the skill of Valério, the pictures certainly do tell a thousand words."
