'Captivating and mesmeric'

-- School Reading List

'It has unique and intricate illustrations, almost retro in appearance, full of lines, dot and dashes in a beautifully muted colour palette ... It’s no wonder the first book was shortlisted for the Klaus Flugge Prize 2021'

-- Raising Bookworms

'The beautiful, lyrical text from Mick Jackson is brought to life through the stunning illustrations of John Broadley. The limited colour palette of greens and pinks and the intricate details in the images make it one to pore over and for me provided a wonderful juxtaposition - evoking a timeless sense of the past whilst also feeling fresh and new ... This would make such a gorgeous gift for a new baby as they begin their journey through life. It would equally be a fantastic book to launch a Ks1 topic around Journeys'
