An Amazon Editors' Best of the Month (3-5), December 2016 PRAISE FOR Ooko : "Playful, joyous and hip." -- Kirkus Reviews "Shapiro is onto something here: a hard to define "Ooko-ness," that is lovely, invigorating and pure." -- Quill and Quire "There are some books that are almost not even worth reviewing, simply because their merits are too obvious that they're primed to become a hit without any outside help . this is one of those books . Shapiro's sugar-spun world that exists on these pages is an idyllic and compassionate place, where life lessons are learned at a softly rolling pace." -- Globe and Mail.
