"The Landströms’ Pom, who bears a striking resemblance to a 3-year-old Winston Churchill, ventures out into the world with his comrade, Pim… They weather the storms of misfortune and revel in fortune’s smiles… A perfect primer for the existential philosophy required for a small one to make it through the day."

- Starred Review, Kirkus (US),

"The brief text and droll ink and watercolor illustrations keep the focus tightly on Pom and Pim, working together brilliantly to bring out the considerable situational humor … [It is] entrancing."

- Starred Review, The Horn Book (US),

"This gentle tale demonstrates the silver lining to every cloud…Such elegance in a childrens book is a rare and special treat."

Pom and Pim's day is full of ups and downs, and luck both good and bad. Is eating a huge icecream truly a good idea? Is it really bad luck that it's raining? Or is it good luck...? A wonderfully simple story told with few words, unique illustrations, humour, and heart. Why we chose this book "Pom and Pim is a perfect example of how a full, drama-packed story can be told in fewer than 100 words. " -Julia Marshall and Jane Arthur, Gecko Press
