“The level of love and kindness that you have shown by writing this amazing book has and will touch so many lives and hearts. I feel so honoured and know that my nieces, nephews, brothers and sisters will cherish it as much as Oscar and I”

“What a beautifully written and illustrated book. Not only did I read it and love it but I read it to some of my older pre-school children at work today and it has inspired them. I am hoping to now use this and any further books by Nicola Edwards at my setting and I will also recommend them to parents and other practitioners and teachers too.”

“The books arrived just as it was bed time and the children wanted it read to them. They both sat silently listening enthralled by the story not a sound was heard other than the story being read. They both loved it and fell asleep happy. The story was re-enacted the next morning when J was upset he wasn't as big as his sister C. C explained that although they are both different sizes it’s because she was older than J but he was still a big strong boy”
