Praise for When You're Older
'Judy Watson's gorgeous illustrations combine beautifully with Sofie Laguna's evocative language to take readers on a rich journey into the imagination of a small boy. Her artwork is filled with textures and quirks. Vibrant colours, stunning patterns and hidden details to uncover - these pages are just so, so beautiful. I found myself turning pages very slowly with this book, savouring the colours and movement on each spread.' Kids' Book Review
