MC: After reviewing the movie trailer, and seeing a clip on TV I had great expectations for the book. The illustrations were muted and difficult for a child to grasp. It’s such a cute idea, perhaps more efforts will improve. In addition the writing in the book is scrawled script which does not make it a reader for a young child.

DM07: I was so stoked to find this online. I used to watch this video on repeat in university when I needed a good laugh. Bought for a friend for a shower and I’m super happy I did.

sharnjit: I am a huge fan of Marcel...so I had to get this Book. It is from the tube video....that I love too! The pictures are lovely and I loved how they used painted images instead of photographic style. Can't wait to read it to my niece!

Terra: When I first discovered Marcel about a year ago, I was eighteen. I was immediately in love. Now, he has a second short, an iPhone app, and a book, and I couldn't be happier.

Marcel embodies the type of existence which I aim to live myself. He is kind, funny, and talented, and he lives at very low means (he "drives" a ~bug~). More importantly, though, is the quiet confidence he exudes. He IS tiny and he IS seemingly insignificant, yet he has found the facets of him that make him special (his voice, for instance), and he sees value in them- leading others to see value in them AND him. And that's a lesson I think every person needs; that regardless of the significance of your job or the weightiness of your talents or your place in the world, with a little kindness and self-confidence, it will be apparent to others that you ARE worthwhile, unique, and beautiful. Sometimes it's hard with all of the other struggling people in the world to remember this. Marcel so gently and so eloquently gives every one of us a pat on the back and reminds us to "like ourselves." He perfectly represents that little voice in us that nudges us to go forth and keep moving, even if there is no obvious...
