Recensione:

Mangoes & Bananas is a thing of beauty. An Indonesian trickster folktale full of wit and delight, this book offers an insight into another culture and shows us how stories from afar can offer as much reward as those we already know and love....

Created through the traditional Indian art form Kalamkari, where cotton is hand painted with intricate designs, the level of time, effort and skill involved in making this book must be celebrated... It’s so lovely to see the fabric’s texture throughout the book, with its mottled effect in an array of earthy yet vibrant colours...making this a book that not only celebrates tradition, but brings its message to a wider audience. This unique approach to picture book making is delightful to witness, fusing as it does the story’s history with a befitting art process.
