* “A tribute as heartfelt as it is joyous” — Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

“Gravel gives us a funny, very kid-friendly story about a gentle giant, someone who twirled children around on his braids, turning himself into a human merry-go-round for their amusement.” — School Library Journal Good Comics for Kids

“What’s to be made of lives that don’t go the way they were supposed to? Gravel shows that they’re worth paying attention to.” — Publishers Weekly

“Kids will be taken by this larger-than-life figure, who is still beloved in Montreal, the city the Great Antonio called home.”— Booklist

“Gravel’s cartoonish art is graphically sophisticated.” — Montreal Gazette

“In this innovative portrait―not quite a biography yet not quite a legend―Gravel affectionately places Antonio in the Paul Bunyan tradition of mighty men.” — Horn Book Magazine

“A modern tale for a new audience.” – Mom Read It
