“The first thing we noticed about Sophy Henn's new book is how beautifully big it is. Not too big to fit on a shelf or have pages turned by small hands, but bigger than most picture books. The size invites children to become fully absorbed in the gorgeous illustrations. You can almost guess what the personalities of each animal might be.” – TheFairyTaleMum (Instagram)
