Rezensionen

'A joyful, acutely observed picture-book account of imaginative adventures with family, a beloved soft toy, and, of course, Mama's scarf' Guardian

'The recurring pattern of Mama's vivid green scarf, decorated with bright red and blue rings and beautifully reproduced on the endsheets, poignantly evokes a sense of the circle of life' Observer

'Illustrations by Joelle Avelino help to bring to life the simple yet powerful message, which encourages every child and parent to keep their imagination alive' Independent

"[Mama's Sleeping Scarf] is a celebration of mother-daughter love and shows how that bond remains, and in fact can be strengthened through objects rich with memories and symbolism . . . This is a heartwarming little tale for children who will be comforted by the notion that even when she is absent, their mother is not far away" Big Issue
