About the Author

Valériane Leblond’s talent and appeal as an illustrator cannot be doubted – she was shortlisted for the prestigious Tir na n-Og Award every year from 2015–2019, with two books illustrated by her winning in the Welsh-language primary category (Pedair Cainc y Mabinogi [Rily] in 2016 and Cymru ar y Map [Rily] in 2019). A French artist brought up in Angers, she now lives in an old farmhouse near Aberystwyth with her three sons, several cats and too many chickens.

Editorial Reviews

"The beautifully worded text lets listeners feel Elsi's profound sadness, her growing bond with Grandma, and her reawakening happiness. Somewhat longer than in most picture books, the story weaves information about bees into the narrative. Leblond's pictures are warm in their expressive character depictions, child pleasing details, and lyrical tone. A Welsh picture book with universal appeal."
