Reviews

Seemingly simple but endlessly sweet.

-- Starred review Kirkus Reviews (US)
Pleasingly original, imbued with the colourful variety of the seasons, and with a cosy story to melt the hardest of hearts, this is a book of warm surprises and strong friendships. -- Lancashire Post (UK)

"An elegantly understated portrait of patience and faith."

-- Publishers Weekly, starred review
