  • "Your book is adorable. The illustrations give it such a gentle tone and feel like an old-time English storybook."

  • The Beatrix Potter of this Millenium

    George the Mouse is officially the character nearest and dearest to my family’s collective hearts. There is a gentleness and familiar comfort throughout the whole story. It’s like I can hear my own mother’s voice as I read to my own daughters. The artist even managed to perfect the micro-expressions of emotion on George and Mildred’s faces—a difficult skill when the subject is small and non-human. It’s a perfect blend of fantasy and reality. It feels like a pleasant sleepy dream during a summer afternoon hammock nap. My girls have been asking when we can build a log house in our wood pile. 😅 An instant classic. - Emilie Whittaker
