"The adventure channels the darkly mischievous tone for which Jansson's works are beloved . and re-creates the strange, wild atmosphere of the island in this windblown tribute to the creator's artistry and sensibility." --STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly "Taking pieces of Jansson's wildly varied body of work, from the colors and moods to the wildness of the setting to the fantastical, unruly, and strangely shaped creatures, Soloy has skillfully distilled them into one story that at once feels both like Jansson's boldly colored abstract paintings and her sharply funny, delightfully irreverent cartoons." --STARRED REVIEW, Booklist "Moomin enthusiasts will be fond of Soloy's stunning tribute to beloved author Tove Jansson in this picture book biography. Although the book highlights the dangers of nature along the way, young readers will be captivated by Tove's resilience as she follows the rays of light that lead her to her friends and ultimately back home to her family, where she finds comfort, love, and pancakes." --STARRED REVIEW, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "All readers will find the handsome illustrations a wonder, while Tove Jansson enthusiasts will adore the homage." -- Kirkus Reviews "This story has it all: a loving family, an unusual friend, an unexpected storm, adventure, and a happy ending." -- School Library Journal " Tove and the Island with No Address is a superb way to introduce young readers to the fanciful world of Tove Jansson and also to encourage children to imagine the childhood experiences that inspired some of their other favourite heroes.
