Reviews:

'Beautifully produced in a large format, this fable, richly imagined in both the lyrical words of the text and the stunning, large scale watercolour illustrations, is a book to treasure.' Julia Eccleshare MBE, LoveReading4Kids

'Lord of the Forest is a stunning visual and lyrical ode to nature and the untamed freedom of the wild.'  Barbara Valentini, Just Imagine

'The descriptive language and vivid similes in this A3-sized picture book bring Tiger and the forest to life' Early Years Educator

'Graceful, wondrous and immense, this story will enchant readers!' Erin Hamilton

The lyrical poetic language with wonderfully vivid similes bring to life the full glory of the jungle environment where little Tiger is born and grows and finds his own power and self-belief.’ Joy Court, The School Librarian

'Sheer joy to read aloud, it’s one to add to family bookshelves and classroom collections.' Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub

'This book holds the wonder and rhythm of this little patch of the natural world, yes. But also, it is an encouraging story that speaks of growing up and recognising the true self when it emerges. Filled with feeling, power, delicacy and the balance of nature; elegant, fascinating…and glorious.' Mary Esther Judy, Fallen Star Stories

'Some books just take your breath away. This is one of them.' Lucy Owen

'A beautifully lyrical story about identity.' Raising Bookworms

'Children will enjoy this book again and again with Caroline Pitcher’s lyrical storytelling and Jackie Morris’s beautiful watercolours giving a superlative portrayal of the forest and its inhabitants in all their magnificence.' SLOAN magazine
