Emily Gravett has a rare talent indeed for creating exceptional books for children. The winner of two CILIP Kate Greenaway Medals, her skill and wit are second to none. Emily first sprang into the limelight with the ground-breaking Wolves, which has been followed by such modern classics as Meerkat Mail, Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears, Monkey and Me and Again! and the fabulous Bear and Hare series for younger readers, as well as the beautiful Tidy, Old Hat and Cyril and Pat. Each book is unique and different from the last – and each features endearing, beautifully drawn characters that touch the heart and tickle the funny bone. Emily lives in Brighton with her family.

A Song of Gladness is a tribute to the resilience of nature that, in many cases, flourished during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021. Despite humans’ terrible ability to threaten it, nature forgives us in this uplifting book, which also reminds us to take pleasure in the small things, such as the song of the birds, and may provide a conversation starter about taking a more mindful approach in our daily lives. Gravett’s nature illustrations are as stunning as always, with some truly majestic creatures gracing the pages.
