What grown-ups are saying

“This book is so thoughtfully done. My great-grandson relates to Pea and Carrot straight away, and the story captures that unsure, slightly scary feeling without ever being overwhelming. What I really like is that there are no instructions or morals, just a moment that feels very real through Pea and Carrot’s eyes. It’s perfect for reading together and gently starting a conversation about feelings after the story ends.”
