Reviews
"Lovely, exuberant, scratchy illustrations enliven this inclusive picturebook about a little girl cheering up her grandfather in hospital with gifts from her imagination. It breezes along to a happy ending." - The Sunday Times
"The art is as playful as the concept, with images made up of loose lines and filled with solidly bold colors. Grandpa's ailment is not discussed, though his stay is only temporary; children visiting relatives in the hospital will find the tale relatable and reassuring. Tackles a potentially tough topic with a blend of whimsy and warmth." - Kirkus Review
