"This fable, written and illustrated by Argentine author Gustavo Roldan, is an homage to storytelling and the power of myth." — Laurie Hertzel, Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Magnificent and silly and tender all at once–a perfect book. Juan Hormiga is a napping and narrating hero lovable to humans large and small alike." — Rivka Galchen, author of Rat Rule 79

“An amazing tale of naps and adventures, of brave little ants and parachutes of leaves, that brings a taste of Argentina to curious young readers in the United States.” — Jennifer Croft, translator of Man Booker International prize-winning Flights

"Gustavo Roldán gives us here a book about the importance of stories, of tales, about a tradition of oral storytelling that passes from generation to generation, about fantasy and the need to dream." —Boolino

"A marvelous little book that I recommend, especially to those who live through well-told tales. . . . Its illustrations are crisp, lively, and powerful." —Bruno Pep
