George the rabbit is the epitome of the timid child, but Bear cleverly empowers him to try. Wonderfully shows the the power of resilience and grit, the importance of self-belief and that we all have a bit of magic inside us if we give it a chance.
A gentle message of empowerment with an appealing coterie of woodland pals, look out for the legwarmer-loving hedgehogs. The Bookseller
Sophy's books are in their simplest form an utter delight. They should be on the bookshelves of every family everywhere. Pom Pom is part of my children's childhood now and Pass It On is in our minds a gentle masterpiece. She has an immense talent with beautiful and original ideas. Lucky children.
