About the Author

Tilly Temple grew up surrounded by animals on a beautiful farm in rural Oxfordshire, and now lives in London with her cat, Oscar. When she's not writing children's books, she can usually be found doing yoga in a London park.

Sebastien Braun was born in Strasbourg, France. As a child he spent countless hours drawing, but at secondary school there were no art classes, so he filled his homework with doodles and portraits of his teachers. Apart from creating pictures, Seb's favorite pastimes are making toys from wood, playing with his children and climbing the Cotswold hills on his vintage road bike.

Editorial Reviews

2021-03-02
A bedtime-prayer board book features a family of badgers.

Speaking in a gentle rhyme, the badgers ask for God’s blessings for family and friends and offer gratitude for the gifts of the natural world. Temple’s stanzas have a lullaby lilt to them, with a cadence that remains consistent throughout. With the exception of the first and last stanzas, which are voiced by the older badgers, the little badger relates the text. The accompanying images show the little badger remembering how much there is to be thankful for, from loved ones like grandparents to the moon and stars. It’s Braun’s illustrations that truly speak to little readers. The badger family is adorable; the softness and simplicity of their features are charming. The same is true of the other woodland creatures and animals. A wintry scene stands out from the rest thanks to the feelings of frostiness and wonder it evokes. There’s the little badger wrapped in a red scarf, nose to the sky, and a tiny mouse leaning on a walking stick, the soft snow floating down around them. Other details, like a lemonade bottle tucked in a picnic basket and a toy boat with a leaf sail, add depth and interest to the scenes.

Satisfactory text; irresistibly delightful illustrations. (Board book. 1-3)
