Home in the Rain

“Graham creates the atmosphere not through excessive description; his prose is quiet, low key. Rather it is his illustrations that draw us in. The rain streaks across the pages, the water sprays out from under the traffic wheels. Above all there are the details, the different perspectives, nothing is forgotten. […] Exceptional.” ~Books for Keeps

Thought-provoking storytelling, as ever, about a family finding inspiration in the most unlikely places. ~The Bookseller
