\n

\u201cIn a world burning with egocentrism, racism and intolerance, this book can be a form of resistance. A book of kindness and humanity, which makes life more optimistic and more beautiful. A magical book, which brings to life the most beautiful and peaceful emotions.”\u00a0Yiannoula Kypri, writer<\/b><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

“With her book Hot Chocolate, Marina Michaelidou-Kadi warms the heart of the child and adult reader with a heroine who begins her journey in a minor scale, but experiences kindness along her journey and its small, almost invisible manifestations, which allow it to spread and multiply when it is shared. [\u2026] The symbols, like Hot Chocolate itself, emerge effortlessly from the material of everyday life. The discreet verbal narration is inextricably linked with the inspired illustrations. They thus compose a book which respects children’s perception and their ability to swim in the deep.” <\/span>Excerpt by the review committee of the national literature\u00a0awards for young children<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
