​

Here’s a book that stresses and respects the contours which encompass and mark people's personality in general, and little children’s in particular. Rebellious aunt Michal (born with enough personality for at least five people), proves anew that individual liberties are paramount and that there’s no such thing as a minorrole.” – Miri Hanoch, YNET
