Julia Eccleshare, The Guardian
In the Otterleys Mairi Hedderwick has a found a spirited animal alternative to the much-loved Katie Morag and her family, while her watery, winter landscapes full of wildlife are as delightful as ever.
PRAISE FOR A WALK WITH GRANNIE: 'A feast of visual detail and a simple child centred text work prefectly together to create a rhytmic book for sharing' - Reading Evening Post 'The appeal of this particular book lies in the simple text, which is very child-friendly and in the tiny details in the illustrations.' - Writing Magazine

a gently story which is ideal for bedtime reading with young children and the washed out watercolour illustrations add to the calming mood.
The Lady
The lovely watercolour drawings and rhyming narrative makes this a charming book that is bound to be a delightful read and family favourite.
