Both powerful and personal, this offers reassurance on recovery from illness and building resilience. -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller * [Michael Rosen] is open and honest about how the experiences feel, allowing children and families to have a space in which to talk about difficult topics. * BookTrust * It manages to be funny as well as moving. * The Sunday Times & The Sunday Times Ireland * Few writers and illustrators could make geriatric, post-Covid rehab a jolly subject for a children’s story; this being Rosen and Ross, miraculously, they more than manage it. * The Times * This astonishing capacity to address pain with humour is what gave rise to his new book: Sticky McStickstick a picture book written with levity that nevertheless prompts a lump in the throat. * Books for Keeps *
