Reviews

This beautiful tale of kindness, empathy and hope explores the topic of depression through gentle words and sensitive illustrations created using the unusual technique of cyanotype. The result is a powerfully emotional and stunningly illustrated book which speaks resonantly to youngsters about feeling down. A stunning debut from an impressive new talent. -- Pam Norfolk * The Lancashire Post *
