Lila’s home became ours
To have a writer who values the intelligence of her reader and recognises that the reader will get the ending made this text my Saturday morning touchstone. This was enriched by the inclusion of stories within stories about ‘baby teeth’ that allowed us to include so many different cultural practices. To have an illustrator who introduces a character not written into the story but one that adds to the story was perfect.The Bookworm
Breathtaking in its ingenuity.
This sweet, simple, utterly believable story has a denouement that is breathtaking in its ingenuity........This familiar and funny and tender picture book will resonate with readers of all ages.Parag Honour List 2020
