Kirkus Reviews

Brava!

"A playful and timely tale that teaches kids how to spot fearmongering and follow evidence."

Thanks to Kirkus Reviews for the starred review of JIBBERJACK, FIBBERJACK, written by Stefanie Gamarra and illustrated by Hen&ink's Marta Pilosio.

"... Pilosio’s illustrations complement the story fantastically: Adults appear angular and performative, while Frida, with an adorable short black bob and bangs, is expressive and determined. Small visual details, such as a “No Monsters” protest sign, cleverly shape the book’s message. Back-matter discussion prompts and a “Become a Truth Detective” checklist offer practical and engaging guidance for children and caregivers.
