Critics Review
From two of our best children’s writers and illustrators, Eoin Colfer and Chris Judge, this beautiful book reminds us all to take a moment to enjoy the wonder of our skies and our children’s imaginations. Buy a copy, read it in a garden or park, and spend some time looking up, to find your own cloud babies. * Sunday Times, “The 60 children’s books you should buy this Christmas as chosen by the booksellers of Ireland” *
Two giants of Irish children’s books come together to create this engaging story […] The illustrations, inspired by Judge’s A Daily Cloud Instagram page which he started during the Covid lockdowns, are wonderfully atmospheric and will make any reader smile. * Children’s Book Highlights, Irish Independent *
This touching picture-book account of imagination, illness and recovery draws on Judge’s own experience of supporting a child through treatment for leukaemia. * the Guardian, “Children and teens roundup” *
