 Never Shake a Rattlesnake!
"Delight
in all the things you are NOT meant to do! “Don’t lend your hat and coat to a
goat. Don’t try to dress a fox in a frilly bonnet and pink socks.” Toddlers
will delight in the absurdity of the suggestions which are all posed in
delightfully simple rhyme. Nick Sharratt’s illustrations capture brilliantly
the madcap essence of the verses."

Night Flight
"This is a wonderfully evocative piece of writing that is both an increadibly emotional read but also an uplifting one to anyone who has ever experienced bullying or torment."

"This is a book for all ages, with an important and
life-affirming message
for anyone who has ever suffered and been
mentally scarred by
their experiences."
International Board on Books for Young
People
“Danni is a refugee. He struggles in his new country: the language, the bullying, the nightmares. But, slowly, his damaged soul begins to heal. An enchanting, magical book.”
Letterbox Library
“Sensitive and robust, finely written and illustrated, this is an engaging tale about transcending life's grottiness.”
Carousel.
“Night Flight offers a touching and well-written insight into the life of a young boy adrift in a strange and often threatening world. Introducing the book to children in schools and libraries would be a good way of providing empathy with those who arrive on our shores with little or no preparation and often deeply traumatised."
Books for Keeps.
“This sensitively written, poignant story rounds off with an unsentimental, realistically satisfying conclusion.”
Irish Examiner.

Dear Bunny
 “Two bunnies write letters back and forth, both
thinking the other is not interested until a mouse family secretly
unites them. This book is cute, cute, cute! My daughter asks for me
to read it almost daily.”
Melissa Elder (OC, Ca)
“I thought this was an adorable book. As I was reading
it, I kept thinking
what a wonderful book this would be for
Valentine's Day.”
A unanimous five-star
rating!
Charlotte M. Barnes
“Dear Bunny" received the most positive reaction
of ANY book I have ever read to kindergarten! A mushy love
story!
“The children ooh-ed and ah-ed, they said oh-no to the story,
they were delighted with the ending. Again, I repeat, "Dear Bunny"
has been their very favorite book. It shows that children love
variety and appreciate the most basic of human emotions:
love!”

Respect!
 "A story of heroism, war ...and football."
Finalist for the Birmingham Libraries Book
Award.
“A fantastic book. Really moving and interesting. One of the few
books I really like!”
Joshua (aged 13).
“A great easy read. I have read it twice! It is a book you can't put down.”
Matthew.
KS3
“This is the most AMAZING true story. Everybody should be made to
read this as it makes you feel very humble and grateful to
those brave young men who died fighting in the First World
War. The book is very short and simple to read which means
anybody could read it. The style is very straightforward because I
believe the author wants to reach as many people as she can. Tully
was a truly remarkable man – please read about
him and think about all he achieved.”
