The Midnight Fair

'Painting from close up, Di Giorgio creates the sense that viewers are part of the crowd, and bathes every spread in brilliant, theatrical light.' Publishers Weekly

'Wordless and eloquent, “The Midnight Fair” offers true enchantment for children ages 3 to 8.' The Wall Street Journal

'This is a wonderful, dream-like picture book that’s also strong on humour.' Christmas countdown of amazing books, RTÉjr

'Lush watercolour, gouache and coloured pencil artwork by Di Giorgio is spectacular not just in its liveliness and beauty but in its remarkable depth and perspective. Surprise after surprise emerges for the keen-eyed reader, and not a detail is neglected. The Midnight Fair--like a ride on a Ferris wheel--will likely elicit entreaties of "Again, again!”.' Shelf-Awareness

'Despite all the merriment, The Midnight Fair is much more than a cute story about animals having fun. It’s entertaining and clever, but it never devolves into flippancy or silliness. Unhampered by the solidity and clarity of text, it maintains an ethereal aura of mystery and a sense of quiet dignity not often found in picture books with anthropomorphic animal protagonists. Every inch of illustrator Di Giorgio’s art is captivating, […] Gleaming and golden, The Midnight Fair radiates magic. It’s truly exceptional.' Bookpage

'There is mystery, anticipation, alacrity, kindness, collaboration, exploration, compassion; this book will delight its viewers.' The School Librarian

'from the minute the book is opened, the stunning illustrations immerse the reader in the fair, offering them the opportunity to experience it like never before… and every journey will be a unique one.' Just Imagine, Favourite Books of 2022

'Feels like a timeless classic.' Books Ireland
