"... It could have made a wonderful film. However, what makes the book really special is its spirit. Sympathy and care for those who suffer, passion for peace and freedom, bitterness towards injustice, indignation at betrayal whatever the source. The objective viewing of facts and situations gives world wide dimensions to its content. It describes the horror of slavery, the strength and fortitude of those whose aim is to resist violence. A message of brotherhood and humanity beyond any linguistic or national barriers..."
Kalliope Moustaka, TO VIMA (newspaper)-23 Dec.1976

"...How could we label The Little Brother as a novel "for children" when it can be equally enjoyed by adults? In 150 pages and using the simple language of truth and reality, Loty Petrovits managed to combine the spirit of kindness with the spirit of heroism, the sense of patriotism with the sense of human brotherhood, History with Art, Depression with Optimism..."

"... The Little Brother is one of those books that beat the time. It combines the truth of life with the truth of art... The real events on which it is based and the adventures of the Greek family are objectified through the roads of art, so that the story acquires a tragic timelessness, beyond the "there" and the "then"...

Heraclis Kallergis, Professor, University of Patra, (letter) 11 January 1987

"... A children's book which reminds of the work of our classical author Penelope Delta and deals with a gegraphical area irrigated with blood and tears. By avoiding to poison young people's soul with chauvinistic messages, this novel inspires and guides to the right direction. The Little Brother is an example of finding the golden section between patriotism, good quality of literature for children and "historical" novel."
K.Valetas, AEOLIKA GRAMMATA, issue No 101, 1988

" ... A powerful message of universal peace and humanitarianism permeates this moving account of two brothers attempts to be reunited with their parents during World War I. This story is considered outstanding because of its valid portrayal of historical events."
