"This beautifully told and moving story, given extra poignancy by Tania Rex’s delightful artwork, is full of Bradman’s attention to rich and authentic historical detail … an emotion-packed tribute to the brave and resilient wartime generation, and a powerful reminder of the realities of life on the home front." – Lancashire Post"A cracking, heart-warming tale of a young girl embarking on a mission to simply cheer her mum up … Tania Rex’s illustrations bring alive life in wartime London … a delightful piece of historical fiction." – A Word About Books, blog"The illustrations within this World War II London-based story are tip-top … Such a simple concept, so effective.
