Robert Vescio is a full-time children’s author whose aim is to enthuse and inspire children to read and write and leave them bursting with imaginative ideas. Melissa Mackie enjoys drawing from everyday life to creating quirky new realities. Her favourite medium is gouache and watercolour on paper.
"... effectively deals with simple emotions that children under
five can relate to, as well as challenging them to feel compassion,
understand the possible perspectives of others, and display a sense
of responsibility. Like me, this book is sure to win your
affections, too!"
*Review. Finn and Puss*
"Of course at the heart of this book is the lesson itself… making
the hard decisions that we know (deep down) are the right ones and
even if they’re bloody hard to make. That we feel better afterwards
because we know we’ve done the right thing."
*Book Review*
"The touching simply-told story of a lonely boy finding a friend,
only to have to part again. Illustrations in gentle colours
complete this appealing book."
"Told in a few words but with exquisite illustrations that are as
gentle as the story but rich in emotion and detail, this is a
story which explores the connections between a child and a pet and
how hard it can be to do the right thing."
