Praise

“[Griso, the One and Only] is an artistic masterpiece introducing readers to centuries of artistic movements, while reinforcing the strengths and merits of being one’s authentic self.” 
School Library Journal, starred review

Griso may be the one and only, but he’s rendered in many different variations throughout this veritable unicorn tapestry, which demonstrates, with power and immediacy, each style’s particular way of seeing.” 
— Publishers Weekly

“This Brazilian import is an artful tour de force.”
—Stephanie Tournas, Youth Services Book Review

Griso encourages you to take inspiration from the world’s art, and to feel freedom in exploring alternative styles. It also speaks to the feeling of yearning, and of close, watchful study of a color, artwork, or line. Griso makes you want to prop up a museum stool, gaze at a medieval tapestry for hours, and set to work on observing all that you can.”
— Emma Raddatz, Elsewhere Editions director interviewed in Publishers Weekly

“From Persian bas-reliefs to Tang dynasty murals, Griso’s shape-shifting journey is depicted with exquisite detail and authenticity. The book not only tells a story but also serves as an introduction to centuries of artistic heritage.”
Momma Braga Blog

“Roger Mello brilliantly places Griso across time, space, and cultures through a selection of artistic styles . . . Griso‘s courage turns the page. He ventures on. And the narrative urges the reader on . . . Mello’s command of imagery and Hahn’s attentive translation captivate readers.”
—Michelle Notte
