Customer Reviews

Sweet

I adore Midda's work and bought this sight unseen. Very clever and charming, but a bit slight in pages. Wonderful insights on the relationships between adults and children. Inspiring artwork.

Growing Up and Other Vices

This book was quite entertaining. There were many things that I could relate to. I really like Sara's watercolors and figure representations. Would be a novel gift for someone.

for everyone

Delightful. Brings a smile to your face. Reminds you not to take things too seriously. Illustrations are miniature works of art.

Honest, Entertaining & Beautiful Observations On Childhood

Sara Midda reveals her keen sense of observation and sensitivity as she turns her attention to the topic of childhood. Her wonderful illustrations remind us of how mysterious, confusing, wonderful and painful the world of children can be, and how often children are misunderstood. It will probably help parents and grown-ups understand their children (by reminding them of what it was like to be a child) more than any self-help book.
