Review:

"I bow down to this one. It left me with a lump in the throat, and I would have no qualms at all about recommending it to any child. Tender, poignant, touching. Good book." -- Martin Waddell * Irish News * "Varley's text is sensitive, comforting, gentle. This is one sensible and honest approach to death for the young." -- Elaine Moss * T. L. S. * "Beautifully detailed ink and watercolour illustrations carry the reader right into the heart of this story" * Carousel * "Sensitively written" * Woman's Own * "'An enchanting tale'" -- Joanna Sayers * EYE *
