-CLEL Bell Award (Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy) - "Play" Category Finalist, 2014 -Longlisted for the ALSC Notable Children's Books List, 2013 -Colorado Libraries CLEL Bell Award (finalist), 2014 "A surefire inspiration for imagination-fueled projects at school or at home." --  Publishers Weekly  Starred Review "A book that at first glance might seem minimalist to the point of vacuity bears closer scrutiny when one appreciates the function the paper shapes can have in allowing a child to identify them in different orientations and even to practice counting." --  Kirkus Reviews " Windblown is a book that screams, 'Turn me into a craft already!!!'.It reaches its full potential when the concept of the book is translated in real life. I hope that happens often." -- Travis Jonker, 100 Scope Notes   "While this book at first seems as minimalist and innovative as Herve Tullet's Press Here , a more traditional story line soon emerges as several characters appear, providing a cumulative narration in which each claims ownership of the shapes." --  The Horn Book "Manceau offers just enough possibilities to ignite youngsters' imaginations, then sends them off to try some creations of their own." -- Jennifer M.

Brown, Shelf Awareness for Readers   "An effective tale for young children, using deceptively, delightfully simple design work." -- Jesse Karp, Booklist.
