"The Visitor is a book that stays with you, with its powerful use of light and colour to tell the story." Julia Marshall, Publisher
New York Times Best Illustrated Book 2018-a story about friendship and shyness, full of light and colour, that plays out in a mini theatre.
A story about friendship and shyness, full of light and colour, that plays out in a mini theatre
Elise was frightened-of spiders, people, even trees. So she never went out, night or day. One day a strange thing flies in through the window and lands at her feet. And then there comes a knock at the door. Elise has a visitor who will change everything.
This is a gentle, sympathetic story about a child who unwittingly brings light and colour-literally-into a lonely person's life.

"The miniature sepia scenes of her house, filled with cardboard furniture, are gradually brought to life by washes of colour as her small visitor begins to dispel Elise’s anxious loneliness." -- Best new picture books, The Guardian
"Gorgeous in pictures & words, this is a terrific read-aloud selection & a great story to spark conversation." -- School Library Journal, Starred Review
