Review Excerpt

CM Magazine

“…The illustrations of the book appear to be acrylic paint on canvas, and they are very colourful. They indicate the mood of the story with the pages that show success being warm, bright colours and pages that show struggles mainly being cool, muted colours.
…There is a big lesson and discussion within this story, and Roll On would be well-suited to a school library or home collection, especially where further conversation could be encouraged about accessibility issues and awareness for differences and challenges that we all face.”
