Critics Review
I bow down to this one. It left me with a lump in the throat, and I would have no qualms at all about recommending it to any child. Tender, poignant, touching. Good book. * Irish News *
Varley’s text is sensitive, comforting, gentle. This is one sensible and honest approach to death for the young. * T. L. S. *
Beautifully detailed ink and watercolour illustrations carry the reader right into the heart of this story * Carousel *
[One of] the best children’s books for help during hard times… Badger’s Parting Gifts has helped millions of children understand death * The Sun *
Sensitively written * Woman’s Own *
