Written in such a beautiful, original style! It's sophisticated, poetic, exquisitely sensitive to nature and sorrow and turmoil and desperation.

A beautiful, honest and powerful story exploring the loss of a parent. This difficult topic is handled bravely, with originality and warmth. Rex's story will break your heart then mend it.
- Tamsin Winter,
It's one of those rare books that looks and feels special before you even turn the first page. Laura's writing and Gwen's illustrations are a perfect, harmonious marriage of styles.
- Alison Brumwell, Chair of the YLG,
It's not easy to write about grief and Laura does it so beautifully; it bristles with colour and texture.
