Emma Yarlett graduated with honors in illustration from University College Falmouth in 2011. Her other work includes a nonfiction book by Julia Donaldson and animation for the Waterstones Children’s Book Award.
Amusing. ... Full of playful design elements that make reading it a
visual pleasure.
—The New York Times Book Review
[L]ively, inventive illustrations... Each spread is filled with
Yarlett’s intriguing digital art, with small details, hints of
collage, some hand-lettering throughout and plenty of kinetic
perspectives
—Kirkus Reviews
Yarlett’s cartoonish digital collages, speech balloons, and font
size and style variations offer a plethora of hilarious details
that enrich this imaginative story. Fans of Oliver Jeffers and Mini
Grey should enjoy this short but comical romp, and all readers will
benefit from a story about sharing that isn’t heavy-handed or
overly moralizing.
—School Library Journal
How Sidney and Stella learn to cooperate and get a substitute moon
in place forms the wonderfully silly resolution. The digital
artwork allows for suitably surreal touches, making this an
off-kilter, offbeat choice for similarly off-the-beaten-path
kids.
—Booklist Online
Adorable and interactive, the story's illustrations are
indespensible. The suspense, hilarity, and playfulness of the text
and art inspire children to find creative solutions to problems and
to discover joy (and pride) in working together.
—ForeWord Reviews
Comically catastrophic... Beautifully illustrated.
—Parents Magazine
