Brenda Is a Sheep
Morag Hood@vanessakaybooks @CamillaPorter38 Yes, it’s perfect for that! I might write it for fun. I’m thinking dark humour like Jon Klassen, with an added sweet message like Morag Hood’s Brenda Is a Sheep.

The Snowman: A Classic Children's Book
Raymond Briggs@lightonthesea_ I’m just popping in to say I love the EXACT same style and would pick every one of these of the shelf. I particularly love Sophie Burrows. Something so warm and nostalgic about hers. It always makes me think of Raymond Briggs The Snowman.

Grandad's Island
Benji Davies@ruthwoolman @ClareHelenWelsh A Shelter for Sadness @Bridgeanne & @dc_litchfield is lovely. I love it because it explores how it’s okay to be sad at times and I think helps children (and grown ups) recognise & explore this feeling. Grandad’s Island by @Benji_Davies is a lovely story that explores death/loss.

Boy: Tales of Childhood
Roald Dahl@melissacreate15 @KatakusM @RobertMuchamore @laughinglibby I think for him it has to be something that actually happened, even if there’s some artistic licence. He likes Boy by Roald Dahl for two main reasons: the events happened and there are some gruesome, dramatic events.
