REVIEWS
This clever picture book imagines the secret world of the young Virginia Woolf and her sister Vanessa. And doesn’t shy away from tackling depression. {Imogen Carter at The Guardian}
This beautiful picture book based loosely on the childhood of Virginia Woolf is a book to savour. It explores sisterly love, complex emotions and the power of imagination in such a way that younger children will enjoy the story and older children will have something to think about. {Emily Drabble of BookTrust}
The charming story of one sister trying to coax her sibling out of the doldrums has both child and adult appeal. {Achuka}

A stunning book!
A truly beautiful book that's not shy about tackling difficult emotions with tenderness and sensitivity - I'd be happy to pour over the illustrations for hours.
