Shireen’s latest book confirms her as one of the brightest and best picture book creators working in Britain today ... Sensational.' ― Observer Take this from a family of avocado lovers: if you have kids, get them this book and read it together. It is beautiful. It is so beautiful. The drawings are pure art and the story is sweet and beautiful, and it is also deeply meaningful. But even if a child is too young to grasp the deeper meaning yet (which most kids are), the story is still super beautiful. Nadia was always destined for a career in illustration—as a child, she would doodle on her exercise books, while as a student she would doodle on her law degree notes. Then, when working as a journalist in London for pop music bible Smash Hits, she would doodle all the time on anything. The good people at Smash Hits didn’t fire her for doodling furry animals - instead they let her leave early to go to evening classes in illustration. Ted is one of the inhabitant of Grimwood. He’s an orphan fox. He and his sister were abandoned by their parents in a den in a park in Big City. Ted, while happy living in Grimwood, still sends letters to their old den, wanting to find his parents. I found out afterwards that this was the second book in the Grimwood series but that didn’t bother at all. You can easily read this book without having read the previous one. It was a fast-paced book, delightfully decorated with illustrations fitting with the story. I thought this was a very loveable story. Oh, and also.. Mr. Silver is kind of an ass 😌Nadia Shireen has won awards for her picture books including the UKLA Book Award for Good Little Wolf and most recently for Barbara Throws a Wobbler, which has been described as a ‘little doorway of joy’ by Caitlin Moran.
