Review Quotes




A luminous and heartwarming story that beautifully captures what it means to embrace your own special qualities. - Adriena Fong, Ning and the Night Spirits.

Brilliant and heartwarming, The Boy on Fire is a beautiful book about the magic of finding self acceptance in friendship. With thoughtful words and glowing illustrations this story will leave you with your own unique inner fire burning bright. - E.K. Mosley, The Last Stardog

A boy who is always on fire learns about friendship and acceptance when he encounters a twinkling star. From the author of Farah Loves Mangos. - Charlotte Eyre, The Bookseller June Previews

New from the Klaus Flugge Prize shortlisted Sarthak Sinha, The Boy on Fire bursts with movement and emotion from the very start, the illustrations are vibrant and brilliant, particularly when gold and yellow images are placed in scenes of deep, rich blues ... It's refreshing that Til's fire doesn't represent rage, instead it's just who he is ... Rather than deliver a moral message or advice on control, this is an ultimately joyful celebration of individuality and the glorious impact of bright light on darkness. A book to leave you glowing, just like Til! - Matthew Martin, Books for Keeps

This is a book with an important message that is not just for children - the inclusive beat at its heart is for all readers... This is a book that will find a place in many contexts from homes, to schools, to care settings. It is a book full of optimism for society's nonconformists - as the star says, 'keep the fire up Til, keep it lit'. - Ruth Concannon, Inis 72
