‘This is so so beautiful in every way. At Lu Rees Archives of Australian Children’s Literature Inc (now called The National Centre for Australian Children’s Literature) we’ve shared it with education students the moment it entered our door – they loved the story & were totally transfixed by story & Anne Spudvilas’ art – US TOO! Congrats from us to you both on this inspired story!.’ (Lu Rees)
