"""Together, the words and illustrations... tell a story that is sad and happy at the same time. It’s a story that makes sense to everyone who ever had - or wanted - a grandfather."" -- The School Magazine (NSW) ""This is an extraordinarily tender, beautiful story of friendship and loss. Stark combines searing poignancy with joyous humour and the most lyrical phrases to produce a quirky, endearing story that deeply touches the heart"" -- The Sunday Tasmanian (AU) ""This story touches the heart. It manages to be charming, warm, funny, poignant and sad all at once and it’s told in such a way that a grandparent can reminisce and a young person can understand about friendship and loss not just through their own eyes but through the perspective of a much older person."" -- PETA Starred review. A sweet, tender, never maudlin evocation of an intergenerational friendship. -- Kirkus Reviews 5+ One of those rare perfect ones. -- Youth Services Book Review Can You Whistle, Johanna?... is a heartwarming and emotional tale of human connection, and its importance at any age. -- NetGalley Reviewer A book that demands to be shared and enjoyed. -- IBBY UK"
