About the Author
Hayley Barrett lives outside of Boston, USA with her husband, John. Their two terrific children have grown and flown, but they come home often for tea and cookies. She has written several books for children.
A graduate in illustration from the London College of Printing, Alison Jay has been illustrating children's books for ten years. To create her unique style, she uses alkyd oil paint on paper with a crackling varnish, which gives her illustrations an antique, nostalgic quality. Alison lives and works in London, England.
Praise for this book
★ "Barrett's delightful story, told in rhyming couplets, is about friends who don't hesitate to help a friend in need.... Coming to the aid of a friend benefits everyone in this gratifying tale" - Booklist
"This quaint story features sweet scenes as textured and iced as the baked goods themselves.... A grand addition to any library, gently demonstrating how we find friends where we least expect to" - School Library Journal
"Alison Jay's oil and crackling varnish paintings are a joy to behold, adorable in their detail as they extend the narrative with period flair and cinematic touches" - Jama's Alphabet Soup
"I adore this book! Everything about it is perfection" - Books for MKs
"The complexity and rhythm of the text lend it more toward being read aloud to younger readers rather than independently. The illustrations are detailed, and unique in their preparation in alkyd oil paint on paper with crackling varnish. They create a rich and delightful backdrop to a quaint story about the power of friendship" - Youth Services Book Review
