"I can’t recommend this book more highly. As parents, we want our children to be kind and brave and care about the world. Joon lays these out these ideals in a way that kids can drink in, and parents can return to. I even snuck in another read myself "

"A truly incredible book. A delightful mixture of magic and beauty. The story was capturing and has inspired lots of important and ongoing discussions with our children. They are now guardians of nature too. The illustrations are incredibly beautiful."

Nicole Whitehouse's review
of
Joon, Big Red and the Unicorn:
"This a beautiful little book that offers children hope for the future of the "Big Reds" (trees) of the world - and at the same time gently explores the cycle of life. It's my new "go to" for book presents for the younger age group. "

“Ixion exists as an antidote to the rules and conventions of other places. We believe that indulging in pleasure will make better people. Self-denial and discipline and virtue are all myths invented to control you.”

“Everyone comes here for pleasure. Even if they think they don't. Embracing it is harder for some and they go mad before they truly accept it. Most of the places they cme from are founded on guilt and rules. The Ripers want us to break away from that - some wish to tear it from us while others are more subtle.”

“You slow. Is Dangerous." His tentacles curled down, gripping the ends of the wood. As they watched he slid off the crate and nudged it away. Underneath was a grate, filthy with slude. He plunged his tentacles into the gaps and pulled it aside. "There is drop.”
