Description

When a tiger comes to stay at Valentine's guest house, the human visitors all check out in a rush. Luckily, the hotel soon starts to fill again - but with a very different collection of residents, all with new and differing needs. Elsie and Valentine make lots of changes to accommodate the new guests, and a very popular, accessible and unusual guest house results! A beautiful debut picture book about diversity, inclusivity and empowerment.

About the Author
Inspired by her work as an architectural illustrator, Sam Sharland likes to create buildings and places that have as much personality as the characters that inhabit them. A love for both painting and storytelling led Sam to study an MA in Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art, from which Valentine's Guest House was born. Her favorite place to draw is outside surrounded by fascinating people and crumbly old buildings. Otherwise, you will find her in her studio, pen in hand, and cat on lap. In her spare time, Sam likes to play golf, read and cook, and firmly believes buying recipe books is a hobby in its own right.

Reviews
"Employing a painterly aesthetic, Sharland fully imagines the changes that come of Valentine's welcome, making for an animal-focused portrait of interspecies harmony." * Publishers Weekly *

Will definitely use again!

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
