 JoJo the Giant
By Jane Barclay
Illustrated by Esperança Melo
Hardcover | 32 pages | Ages 4-7
ISBN: 978-0-88776-976-4
“…Jane Barclay’s charming new picture book is a kindly story about frustration, determination, and a loving bond between mother and son…. Esperança Melo … uses a rich, glowing palate of vivid reds, blues, and ochres to reinforce the text’s feeling of familial warmth and JoJo’s brave spirit. Striking perspectives in the pictures set off details…. The story ends with a sweet surprise, and JoJo feeling 10 feet tall.” – Quill & Quire
“…Melo's acrylics are bright and at their most interesting in those scenes when she plays with perspective…. Barclay ably captures the affection of the central relationship, though, and the ending is a genuine surprise. Heartwarming.” – Kirkus Reviews
