About the Author:
Kes lives in Witham, Essex, with his wife, young family and assortment of animals. He is a born storyteller. Voted by the Independent as one of the TOP TEN children's authors only a year after publishing his first book. Lee Wildish is a real talent heading for great success. He was picked out by Kate Skipper, the Waterstone's buyer, as someone to watch and he is one of our highlight illustrators.
Review:
A powerful little book with a super strong positive message! Handles overcoming a bully wonderfully. * Fiction Fascination * The simple words are accompanied by strikingly original pictures which convey images of feelings and invite interpretative chat, a very useful and terrific book. * School Librarian * Speaks loudly to readers about the need to share big problems to help overcome them. Expressive illustrations and clever use of shading help reinforce Kes Gray's simple, but emotionally engaging text. A valuable story. * Carousel * The message is given with such a humorous lightness of touch that it comes over as an engaging story. The illustrations, full of funny but sensitive and understanding animals, are a super match for the text. * Books For Keeps * An empowering story. * Books For Keeps * A powerful and comforting book about caring for your friends and not tolerating bullying. * Junior * A touching tale that resonates with empathy and poignancy. * Junior * Lee Wildish's illustrations are lovely. The characters have a rough charm that really draws you in - there are hints of Quentin Blake's ink drawings, but Wildish's style is very much of its own. * Bookbag * Praise for Mum and Dad Glue: "An incredibly powerful book about a boy coming to terms with his parents' divorce: a difficult subject treated with a wonderfully light touch. I'm a huge Lee Wildish fan and think he's definitely a name to watch for the future. I defy you to read this without a lump in your throat." * Kate Skipper, Waterstones Buyer * A powerful and comforting book * Junior * Emotionally charged illustrations match a text that conveys a serious message with humour and sensitivity. * The Bookseller * An empowering story * Books for Keeps * The message is given with such a humorous lightness of touch that it comes over as an engaging story. The illustrations ... are a super match for the text * Books For Keeps * A difficult subject told with a gentle touch * School Librarian * Strikingly original pictures which convey ... feelings and invite interpretive chat, a very useful and terrific book * School Librarian * Speaks loudly to the reader ... Lee Wildish's expressive illustrations and clever use of shading reinforces Kes Gray's ... emotionally engaging text ... a valuable story for creating the space with children to talk about what, if anything, is troubling them * Carousel *
