Media Reviews

An unusual story that explores friendship and gifts - highly suitable for one to five year-olds - wih the quality and ideas to be enjoyed over many readings.

* IBBY Link *

For all children looking for friendship wherever they may be.

-- Chitra Soundar

Very beautiful.

* Bookwitch *

This is a book that will be with you forever, we recommend it for all ages of children and adults.

* DolphinBooks - the blog *

The picture book can be used as a good way in to a discussion about friendships and morals with children in KS1; it may be a useful book for PSHE lessons to focus on relationships. There are also some beautiful illustrations which enhance the story.

* The Reading Zone *

A truly magical tale that brought a tear to my eye; how much a small kindness means and how little we know about the way a small gesture can bring happiness to one we have never met. Delicate illustrations accompany the story to perfection.

* Parents in Touch *

This is such a lovely book about the joy of both giving and receiving gifts and the pleasure in sharing those gifts with other.

* The Reading Zone *

One of the most beautiful picture books of the year.

* The Bookseller *

A story with quiet magic and beauty.

* Publishers Weekly Starred Review *

Truly heart-warming.

* Books for Keeps Five Star Review *
