“Pool People is the easiest thing in the world to recommend; it bursts with visual imagination and joy for storytelling. (…) Moen’s illustrations provide enormous sensory stimulation. (…) It’s an impressive piece of illustration work. (…) completely impossible not to be charmed by the drawings. (…) above all, the picture book conveys an inclusive warmth that celebrates the imperfect, which is indeed perfect.”
Maya Troberg Djuve, Dagbladet 6/6 stars

“ (…) Kjersti Synneva Moen hammers on the door to high society, and I wonder if we with Pool People simply are talking about peak search-and-find book. (…) Pool People is one of the most charming and impressive additions [to the search-and-find books] I have seen in a while.”
Walter Wehus, Barnebokkritikk

“I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I describe Kjersti Synneva Moen as a sparkling newcomer”
