Reviews

A sweet picture book, with joyous, candy-coloured images, about spreading kindness. Edwyn's grandmother takes his kiss and shares it, reforming the angry, the greedy and the mean-spirited.
*The Sunday Times*

This sumptuous fairytale, filled with everyday magic, is a testament to the great power of the smallest loving gestures.
*The Guardian*

This is a book that will be part of the process of shaping your child's view of the world, that will, when they're a little older, be a warm memory and a nudge to be better, that will be when they're old enough a thing that, like the kiss, they'll want to pass on.
*Armadillo Magazine*

Lovely, gentle fairytale story about the transformative power of love. Catch a kiss, pass it on and see what happens when you do. The beautiful illustrations make it hugely appealing to be read aloud. A treat.
*Angels and Urchins*

There's a fairytale feel to this uplifting story of a kiss that brings smiles and laughter, and the rich man who will do anything to get it. Gorgeous, radiant art and a foiled cover.
