much loved, multi-award winning author

This is a superb story of human and animal interaction. Your deep love and knowledge of owls and how humans, especially children, can rescue and assist them is heartening. The illustrations are simple and have a gorgeous shining real quality that accompanies the drama and its resolution. And how wonderful that this resolution is possible, even if not always applied.

It will certainly inspire children to understand and treasure the wildlife around them. Perhaps even inspire a few into a job with and a love for our parks and wildlife service.

The notes at the back of the book will be fascinating for teachers, parents and children.

What a treasure of a picture book: “Boo” is an absolute star!

This fast-paced, tension-filled story will have little ones on the edge of their seats, hanging on every word until ‘their’ lovable little owl is safe.

Both Boo and Farmer Goodman have delightful personalities, and it takes real talent to be able to bring that out with such economy in the text.

I can’t wait for Wendy Lawrence’s next book – and I predict her young fans will be ahead of me in the queue!
