Reviews

Morris Gleitzman has a rare gift for writing very funny stories and wrapping very serious stories inside them.

—— Guardian

Sophy's books are in their simplest form an utter delight. They should be on the bookshelves of every family everywhere. Pom Pom is part of my children's childhood now and Pass It On is in our minds a gentle masterpiece. She has an immense talent with beautiful and original ideas. Lucky children.

—— Angels & Urchins Magazine

This is a beautifully illustrated story of self-belief, perfect for encouraging little ones to try new things.

—— Scottish Book Trust

Henn invests a flat graphic design style with emotion and cuteness.

—— The Sunday Times

A gorgeous picture book that is perfect for sharing this spring.

—— The Sun

Charlie is a feisty, funny girl who will appeal to pony-mad readers who'll devour all the inside knowledge of the equine world that Balding brings to her debut
