A fine book, and a daring book -- Michael Morpurgo
This book must go down as a brave, serious and successful attempt
to reach out and have this story heard -- Michael Rosen * Books For
Keeps *
A Little Piece of Ground has the same rights as any other
book to be on the shelves of shops and libraries. I also think that
by reading books like this, and acknowledging other points of view,
it will be easier for both sides to understand each other --
Fourteen year-old reader * Jewish Chronicle *
