Birdie Halleluyah!: The classic illustrated children’s book from the author of The Tiger Who Came To Tea - Tapa blanda

The artwork is beautiful, achieved with such modest means: pencils, crayons, sepia ink, and finest liquid gold pen line. The image of the guardian angel is one of ethereal solidity: immense hands and feet, skin pale as marble, seraphic smile, long fair hair. In Birdie Halleluyah the words provide a simple framework upon which the story grows through the images. (TES – 30/10/98)
