À ses début, Susie Morgenstern n‘hésitait pas à illustrer elle-même ses textes (cet album de 1979 est son troisième livre). En voyant les audaces formelles et son sens de la couleur, on regrette presque qu‘elle ait finalement tout donné au roman. Assumant ses maladresses, multipliant avec brio les juxtapositions de motifs, elle réussit dans ces pages un véritable bijou graphique.
In the early years of her career, Susie Morgenstern was both the author and the illustrator. As we see her formal boldness and color sense, it's a shame she gave everything up to the novel. Playing with her awkwardness, adding multiple patterns, she created a real jewel.
