Critics Review
“Gorgeously illustrated… this thought-provoking picture book feels like it gives you one last big hug before you close its pages” – Scott Evans * The Reader Teacher *
“A beautifully illustrated, lyrical invitation to connect with the natural world” * LoveReading4Kids *
“Powerful, poetic and told from the viewpoint of the natural world… both a deeply philosophical book and a comforting cuddle of a book. It deserves to be on the shelves of every family where there’s a young child” * Books for Keeps *
“Anna’s thought-provoking words read like a lullaby. The illustrations are vibrant and unfold like dreams!” – Clare Helen Welsh
“Perfect for exploring a whole host of emotions… Harry Woodgate captures the characters’ thoughts and emotions in a gloriously bright yet calming colour palette. I genuinely could not love this book more” * The School Librarian *
