An excerpt by the review committee of the national literature awards for young children:
“In simple writing, Marina Mihaelidou-Kadi manages to narrate not only the life of Grandma Sophia, the dynamic and courageous nurse, … but to also highlight the recent history of Cyprus, without a trace of nationalism. The text is supported by the marvelous illustrations of Renia Metallinou.”
