E-raamat: Little Passenger

Little Passenger. I have made space for you inside my heart. This line from Deirdre Sullivans début picturebook perfectly captures the essence of what might be the most wonderful, heartwarming, sweet and beautifully written book this reviewer has ever read. The words speak for themselves, making this book an ode to love, motherhood and the magic of waiting during pregnancy. The soft, whimsical watercolour illustrations bring the reader into the wonderful world of warmth and wonder that is waiting for a baby. Jessica Love manages to complement the text perfectly with illustrations that capture the love and care that surround every little passenger during each stage of waiting and growing. I dare say many pregnant readers might find themselves tearing up after reading the first few pages speaking from experience! The love that emerges from the pages is truly palpable. A true work of art from both writer and illustrator. -- Črica Góngora * Inis * This poetic, beautiful picture book features a mother talking to her growing baby throughout pregnancy (You are a full stop, a pea, a single grape). Loves lustrous ink and watercolour illustrations marry the delicate tendrils of developing plants with the intricate stitches of a sampler. -- Imogen Russell Williams * The Guardian *
