She still manages the cryptic crosswords, friends and family.
Jane also enjoys working creatively with school students, encouraging them to develop confidence in their own creativity, ideas and abilities.

What a waste of a stunning illustrator. This is a horrible book - terrible story. This story ends in the state where people mourn deceased loved ones and need counseling for it.
Stunning illustrations though. Either tell your kid another story or just look through the pictures.

Beautifully illustrated story to match a very sweet story about a little girl Pippi who looses her favourite "little one" and finding a way to move forward.

Godwin and Evans create a world of things that are lost and and things that are found like the realisation that loved things are never forgotten.

Read it with my 3 year old. Now she’s crying that she’ll loose her teddy. Not a great book.
