Media Reviews
"Full of imagination" An enchanting story that holds your hand and encourages guessing about what the children are going to imagine next, all beautifully illustrated with lots of lovely little asides on each page. A story about imagination and potential that can come from the unknown, but also about friendship, blended families, and nature. -- Bookseller * Waterstones *
"A story full of imagination" This story captures beautifully how children so effortlessly and naturally explore imagination, as well as how hard it is to be patient while a seed turns into a plant. Adriena's illustrations perfectly compliment Emily's dialogue text, with nods to fairytales and worlds at the top of beanstalks. A lovely read that is bound to spark curiosity and seed growing in the young people in your life. Highly recommended. -- Customer * Waterstones *
