Recensioner i media

Maggie OFarrells first childrens venture, a long-read picture book, is a meditation on risk and resilience with beautiful, timeless illustrations from Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini [] The perfect winter story. * The Times & The Irish Times * This tale addresses childrens fears for themselves, but also their impulse to make others safe. Tender and reassuring, in the images and the text, it feels timely for 2020, but has the magic of such classic Christmas tales as The Snow Queen, The Snowman and Its a Wonderful Life. * The Sunday Times & The Sunday Times Ireland * [] a gorgeous, modern-day fairytale picture book. * The Irish Independent * A longer length picture book for older children, it has a feel of a contemporary fairytale and a real sprinkle of Christmas magic, enhanced by Terrazzinis gorgeously detailed art and lavish production values. Fiona Noble also featured Where Snow Angels Go in her introduction calling it one of her two winter treats in 2020. -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller * As perfect as a snowflake. As magical as snow. Maggie OFarrell has written an instant classic that will live on in the hearts and imaginations of readers. * M. G. Leonard *
