Coralie Bickford-Smith Press Reviews
Exquisite, moving and hopeful on so many different levels. I love the bright green of the spring, I really feel that incandescence when I turn the page. I will be buying it for many. -- Lucy Jones - author of Losing Eden
Praise for Coralie Bickford-Smith's The Song of the Tree - :
Another exquisite, clothbound tale from Coralie Bickford-Smith . . . illustrations are so vivid and patterned, reminiscent of traditional African wax prints, that each page feels alive. The night-time stars and fireflies sparkle, though there's no glitter or foil used, while elsewhere the text swoops bird-like across the page - Observer
Depicts nature at its most majestic and tells a lovely fable about belonging - Financial Times
Heart-warming . . . a celebration about the world around us and the importance of the natural world at a time when we need it the most - Creative Review
