Pressezitat
Gill Smith's illustrations for Saving the Butterfly (Walker) by Helen Cooper also lean towards muted grey shades as we see a boy and his older sister, two refugees, rescued from a boat. The boy settles, makes friends, but the girl is haunted by the past and can't move on until the day her brother brings her a butterfly. As the insect and the girl begin to flourish, the illustrations become as rich and colourful as the butterfly's wings. A tender tale focusing on the aftermath of conflict, it's a great companion to Nicola Davies's The Day War Came (2019). Observer
