This is the Star
"The traditional story of the Nativity is told with the power of soul-stirring poetry and arresting illustrations. A story that is told and re-told can sometimes lose its lustre, but this retelling of the miracle birth brings back the elements of glory to this age-old tale."
American Bookseller Pick of the Lists
The Pig Who Wished
"Dunbar, who at some point must have swallowed the essence of childhood herself, is brilliantly paired with Selina Young's delirious illustrations."
The Sunday Telegraph
The Spring Rabbit
"Dunbar has a deceptively simple style that speaks straight to the hearts of four to six year olds."
The Guardian
The Very Small
"The difference between big and small has never been delivered with such poetry."
The Guardian
