Critics Review
Mary Murphy excels at writing cosy, sweet books which have a hug at their heart, and it’s wonderful to see a Chinese mum and daughter portrayed, too. * BookTrust *
The chorus perfectly evokes the circular nature of the child’s imagination, while Zhu Cheng-Liang’s striking, romantic paintings are full of amusing detail. * The Irish Times – Christmas Books Round-Up *
A gentle, profound book about love – don’t miss it. * The Irish Independent, Children’s Books of the Year *
Zhu Cheng-Liang’s pencil and watercolour drawings complement Murphy’s words beautifully. * The Irish Independent, Top Picks from Elaina Ryan *
An intimate ode to the unwavering love a child has for their mother, this tender, lyrical story is brought exquisitely to life by Zhu Cheng-Liang. * Parent Talk *
