Critics Review
Illustrations in coloured pencil and wax crayon instantly immerse the reader in Tallulah’s universe… The rain and the umbrella are interesting and subtle ways to illustrate the unknown, the fears young children may have and how we cope with the unexpected. Tallulah’s story is a tender and insightful way to approach these themes with young readers who might struggle with anxiety. A heart-warming story. * CBI Inis Magazine *
