Industry Reviews
This is a divinely sweet story about friendship and the power of hope. Gold's text is warmly and beautifully written and Craig Phillip's illustrations take the book's heartfelt message to even higher planes with his utterly charming watercoloury renderings. * Kids' Book Review *
Craig Phillips' water colour illustrations are delightful - clear, uncluttered and colourful within a restrained palette... The narrative is well-paced, keeping the story moving while providing time to consider (and feel) what is happening. * Whispering Gums *
