"Shakespeare’s poetry has stood the test of time, enduring for over 400 years. The Wild Waves Whist stands the test of toddlers: You’ll still delight in its musicality and magic after a thousand readings. Paired with Mehrdokht Amini’s luminous illustrations, Erin Nelsen Parekh’s adaptation of The Tempest opens up the lyrical pleasures of Shakespeare for babies and all their grown-ups." Lindsey Row-Heyveld, author of Dissembling Disability in Early Modern English Drama (Palgrave MacMillan, 2018)
