Fully embracing the spirit of the enterprise, Davies has a great deal of fun with the images . . . A merry old tale that's No. 1! --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, <b>starred review</b>, on <i>The Giant of Jum</i> <p/>A charming marriage of text and art, this book will stand up to repeated presentations again and again. An excellent read-aloud for class visits as well as a lovely bedtime story recommendation. --<i>School Library Journal</i> on <i>The Giant of Jum</i> <p/>Excellent, believable advice, with boxes--what could be better than that? --<i>Kirkus Reviews </i>on <i>Big Friends <p/></i>Sarah captures the joys and pain of a camaraderie that seems exquisitely perfect--until it isn't. . . . Davies makes the story sing from beginning to end with lovely drawings that feel sturdy and resolutely optimistic, even when Birt is at his lowest. --<i>Publishers Weekly </i>on <i>Big Friends</i> <p/>An understated, profoundly charming little fable. --<i>The Financial Times </i>on <i>The Storm Whale</i> <p/>Simple but powerful. . . The world may still be as big and lonely and incomprehensible as the ocean, but still it's possible to find tremendous, heart-stopping tenderness. --<i>The New York Times </i>on <i>The Storm Whale</i> <p/>With its windblown illustrations and gratifying arc, <i>The Storm Whale</i> would be wonderful to read in the safe harbor of bedtime. --<i>The Wall Street Journal </i>on <i>The Storm Whale</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Elli Woollard</b> writes picture books, poems and other things (most of them silly).
