PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
"""Initially it's the artwork in On a Small Island that draws the reader in, with its inviting palette of bold blues and warm oranges, and its collage like appearance. Artist Kyle Hughes-Odgers' unique style is intricately detailed, and offers the reader so much to explore on every page . . . Hughes-Odgers uses simple but well-crafted language throughout, and gives Ari that hint of quirkiness that makes him endearing to the reader. There is a gentleness to the tone and pace of the book, and its simple storyline, with themes of loneliness, patience and creativity, is heartwarming and delightful . . . Suitable for readers aged three and up, this picture book will undoubtedly stir the hearts of both young and old."" --Junior Books+Publishing"
