Tilly’s Staycation
Written and illustrated by Gillian Hibbs, picture book, Child’s Play, $19.95, ages 3-8, 32 pages, 9781846436017
“Debut talent Hibbs’s paintings exude a cheerfulness to match the sort of special day that Tilly’s mother is trying to create for her daughter, and her urban settings blend everyday diversity with touches of whimsical humor. . . A graceful, light-handed reminder that one needn’t travel far to enjoy the good life.”
- Publishers Weekly
“Although initially disappointed about not getting to travel the way her friends do, Tilly comes to appreciate adventures close to home…Throughout, cheery pictures adopt a naïve style that matches the playful tone of the text. There’s no place like home, as Dorothy would say.”
