"Karin Celestine creates worlds full of curiosity, kindness and adventure that can happen in any back garden or window box. Her characters open our eyes to the small wonders around us, and open our hearts to the small creatures we share our lives with."

"The latest in this series of quietly exquisite little books, continues with the theme of kindness and empathy. But there’s a good dose of science and invention too and the excellent take home message that ‘A Good Idea’, delivered at the right moment has the power to change lives.

Perfect Easter reading!"

"...Adventurous, funny and clever, the clear and easy to read text make this book perfect for young readers and to share with the family or classroom.

They bring their own gifts to the situation and, because of that, the problem is easily solved. The illustrations are endlessly charming; made with felt creatures Celestine handcrafts herself, painstakingly places and photographs. The result is the creation of a marvellous, artistic, inventive and very real world...."
