Jane G. Meyer, author and editor
Author Mihaela Cosescu’s poetical text and the lushly vibrant illustrations of talented newcomer Andreea Chiornita give us a gorgeous glimpse into life – then and still sometimes now – in a quintessential Romanian village. And then they whisk us away with Zamfira on a winding, magical journey that spans decades and lands, pedaled by generosity and gratitude. One is left wondering if it was imagined or not. And in the end, it doesn’t really matter. Stunning and memorable! A treat for eye, ear, and heart.
Brandi Bates, Reading Together Romania
Mihaela Coșescu reminds us with great mastery and attention to details, how precious the relation between the kids who already became adults and the childhood fairy-tales, the tradition, the childhood village, the grandparents, the joy of life. From the outstanding illustrations that overwhelms us when reading the story, to the text that unveils as a summer bike riding, a soft breeze, a smile on a child’s face… the complete story of the Enchanted Bicycle encourages us to wait with emotion until the very end. Mihaela’s book is a book written for children but is enjoyed greatly by adults!
