“… This collection of twenty-two of her compositions, rich in the imagination of a highly sensitive girl with vibrant feelings, and sometimes of highly charged emotions. Her mastery over the language and its diction, is remarkable for a girl of eighth standard, and she puts them to good effect in giving a sensuous appeal…”

“…What is remarkable in Fousiya’s verses is the sheer ability to perceive the occurrences in the world at large. The light and the dark sides of life alternate with the dexterity in her poems. I have firm conviction that she will travel steadily along the poetic road winding ahead of her…”

‘I have read many young bright poets in their teens who write brilliantly but not as truthfully as Fousiya Yoonus does. What is remarkable in Fousiya is her transparency and her awareness of the special problems of her age. She is genuine and also extremely talented. I am also happy that she is bilingual and writes in Malayalam too. As she seems to respond to the ambience of her native land, we feel that her language has a distinct richness of tone and texture. I am certain that she will delve farther into the world of poetry and she gives us the promise of a rich harvest. This collection of poems is remarkable for the richness of details of the world around, her response to nature and her warm feelings expressed in simple diction’
