“Simpson easily straddles the line between kid and adult humor—another way in which these books recall the heyday of Calvin and Hobbes—and as I read this to my daughter over a series of bedtimes, we both laughed aloud many times.” (Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing), "...my favorite book of the year..." (Damon Caporaso, BSC Kids), “If there’s still a hole in your comics-reading life where Calvin & Hobbes used to go, you may find that Phoebe and Her Unicorn helps fill that hole, at least a little.” (GeekDad)

I am amazed at the nuggets of wisdom offered in this book about what it means to be a woman. The book was written over 50 years ago but the author addresses issues women are facing in 2025 as if she were here with us . Clearly and lucidly she offers refreshing insights on the roles of women which are unique to women. Her courageous voice is a welcome relief from the clamour of dissenting voices and opinions that daily assaulting us in our hyped-up, information saturated, technology driven age!
