‘Children (and adults) need race to be woven into mainstream literature as a norm, and who better than Gavin, whose vivid sympathetic stories are exactly the kind of thing any child 5+ will love?  …  These joyful stories are a delight.  Few authors possess the gift of creating new fairytales for the whole human race, but Gavin undoubtedly has it.’

– Amanda Craig, The Times, Children’s Book of the Week
