Northern Irish illustrator Erin Brown's new picture book sets these lines fittingly against the striking back drop of Benbulben, while using swirling shades of blue and green as the "wandering water gushes from the hills above GlenCar, in pools among the rushes that scarce could bathe a star". The latter aquatic scene, also used as the book's cover, portrays the human child carried on currents with trout, frogs, and foaming white horses and is its standout image, capturing the sense of freedom promised in the waters and the wild … alluring, and lends itself perfectly to picture-book form for repeated reading aloud
