Media Reviews
Fearless Mirabelle by Katie Haworth and Nila Aye (Templar Publishing) explores what it's like to be completely different to your identical twin - especially if you feel your sibling is better than you. The story takes place in the wonderful setting of a circus and is beautifully illustrated in a limited but striking colour palette. There's a great message here for siblings, not just twins, about celebrating your differences, and its a message that can be applied to friendships too. A lovely read with gorgeous endpapers to boot! * Story Time *
Mirabelle and Meg Moffat are twins and their parents are famous circus acrobats. The girls are very different and this story just goes to show that we shouldn't expect twins to be the same - they are all individuals and follow their own course in life, just like Meg and Mirabelle. As babies, they were very different - Mirabelle is always climbing; Meg is always talking. So it turns out that Mirabelle is a fearless acrobat but Meg is afraid of heights. But is Mirabelle afraid of anything? With her new grand show opening, Meg might be about to find out... and the bond of twins will come to the fore. With the vibrant world of the circus at its heart, this is a lovely story about working together and being the best you can... whatever it is at. * Parents in Touch *
Identical twins are... well, identical, but they are also very, very different! Katie Haworth and Nila Aye celebrate our individuality in a warm, wise and funny picture book starring adorable twin sisters Mirabelle and Meg Moffat as they get ready to join their parents' daring circus act. Mirabelle and Meg's mum and dad are famous acrobats. Like her parents, Mirabelle is fearless and promises to be the most topsy-turvy, upside down acrobat of all. Her twin Meg doesn't like balancing and climbing... she would much rather talk, read and go swimming. It turns out that Meg is afraid of heights, but is her lively sister Mirabelle afraid of anything? With the new grand show opening, Meg might be about to find out. With its circus setting and quirky, adorable twin stars, Fearless Mirabelle is an exuberant and inspirational story which explores how we can all use our very different talents. Haworth delivers important messages through a fun and lively story set against a thrilling circus backdrop while Aye's seductive palette of 'retro modern' illustrations add special charm and atmosphere. A class act from a top team... * Lancashire Evening Post *
