Critics Review

Hopgood, the illustrator of Wow Said the Owl, brings his unique style to Stickley’s powerful anthem about the climate crisis. * the Bookseller *
Pitch perfect for little ones in every way and what a truly exquisite gift it would make to a recently born little one like the child shown at the start of the book. * Red Reading Hub *
Love, the Earth is such an emotive and thought-proving book in the best way possible. It is suitable for the littlest of toddlers right up to late childhood and beyond! The earth is personified in this story and as it takes us on an artistic, poetic journey around the world, we are inspired to love and treasure the beauty of our world. Tim Hopgood’s abstract illustrations are truly captivating. I found myself transfixed on every page as I soaked up the layers of depth within every enchanting illustration…This book is delightful beyond words. * Reading Zone *

When she is not writing, you’ll probably find her in a forest playing dragons with her daughters.
