What They're Saying
Critics Review
Simply yet powerfully told, The Laugh is a beautiful, gentle story with tender and expressive illustrations, and a comforting message about the ways we hold loved ones close even when they’re no longer with us. – Harry Woodgate, author of ‘Grandad’s Camper’
Tender, delicate and joyful. A story of loss, illustrated and told with real emotion. – Jarvis, creator of The Boy with Flowers in His Hair
[The Laugh] talks honestly about death and at the same time it celebrates life. It provides comfort that life will improve without in any way diminishing the loss. – Chris Haughton, author of ‘A Bit Lost’
