Review quote:
"Playfully explores a broad range of early concepts, including: friendship and compromise, imagination, encouraging predictions, problem-solving, shapes, and mark-making. Melo''s artwork complements this theme by utilising various kinds of mark-making, including collage, and we see the characters literally creating their environment through drawing."
