"Kitchi: The Spirit Fox's rhythmic narrative and heart-warming pictures create an enchanting world that draws young children to empathise with little boy Forrest who feels sad and lonely after losing his brother. As children follow how memories, kindness and friendship turn Forrest's sadness first into laughter, then happiness and ultimately hope, they are taught what power these have in lifting sadness and loneliness. This uplifting tale reassures children that there are remedies for their difficult emotions and would make for a good shared-reading session for adults to help their children grasp this message." - Fransina Stradling (PhD Linguistics researcher).
