Shirley Hughes (1927–2022) illustrated more than 200 children’s books and is one of the best-loved writers for children. She won the Kate Greenaway Medal twice and was awarded the OBE for her distinguished service to children’s literature. In 2007, Dogger was voted the UK’s favourite Kate Greenaway Medal-winning book of all time.
“You can almost smell the seasonal sugar and spice in Snow in the
Garden: A First Book of Christmas from Shirley Hughes. Nobody
captures the joy of each season, the way the light falls and the
world looks at different times of the year, or the tiny details of
family life, quite as well as Hughes. This collection of
Christmas-themed stories, poems, recipes and craft ideas deserves
to become as well-thumbed and covered in crumbs as all of her
previous books.”
*The Observer*
“A glorious, gentle countdown to Christmas.”
*The Times, Children’s Book of the Week*
“A seasonal collection […] accompanied by beautiful
illustrations.”
*The Sunday Express*
Everyone, no matter whether they are one or 101, should own a copy
of this book to capture and then go on recapturing, year after
year, the magic of Christmas.
*The Good Web Guide*
“It sums up Christmas beautifully.”
*Picture Books Blogger*
