Reviews
Praise for Brambleheart: "Cole's black-and-white pencil drawings are earnest yet emotionally sharp. Nestled in a small trim size, this is an appealing and accessible genre blend." -- Kirkus Reviews "Fantasies wrapped around the secret, almost human world of woodland animals are perennially churned out and eaten up by young readers. Throw another fantastical animal into the mix-a dragon-and there are sure to be plenty more kids who will buy in." -- ALA Booklist "Twig is what all heroes - large and small - should be: charming, courageous, and kind. Delightful!" -- Lisa Fiedler, Author of The Mouseheart Trilogy and Stage-Struck Praise for A Nest for Celeste: "Evocative illustrations, compelling characters, and thoughtful reflections on the nature of home combine to powerful effect." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A rare gift: a novel with artwork as whole and vital as a picture book's." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "The softly shaded pencil drawings bring the story to life through Cole's exceptional ability to imbue animals with personality." -- ALA Booklist
