Liliana the Strong cover

A beautiful picture book from Sir Quentin Blake, Britain's first Children's Laureate, illustrated by the wonderful Emma Chichester Clark.

'A match made in picture-book heaven' – The Times

This brilliantly funny collaboration between two superstar creators about a tiny girl with superhuman strength has all the hallmarks of a future classic.


Liliana wears her super power lightly, using it to help others in a crisis. A resilient child, she thinks nothing of singlehandedly rescuing a highland cow stuck in the mud, or of stopping an out-of-control steamroller in its tracks, or of throwing a beached whale back out to sea.

With beautiful, detailed, humorous illustrations by the award-winning Emma Chichester Clark, Liliana the Strong is the perfect gift for any child who needs a little reminder that everything will be okay.

Written with humour, and a big helping of heart, by Blake and illustrated with Chichester Clark’s beautifully detailed and playful artwork, this classic-in-the-making is the perfect gift for any child who needs a little reminder that everything will be okay. * Lancashire Post *
