4 12 y separately published work icon Maudie and Bear Jan Ormerod , Freya Blackwood (illustrator), ( trans. Paola Gallerani with title Matilde E Orso ) Milan : Officina Libraria , 2017 Z1733995 2010 single work picture book children's

'Maudie's world revolves around Maudie. Bear's world also revolves around Maudie—he is as patient and solid as a rock. Maudie is so confident of Bear's love she makes little effort to deserve it. Bear's remedy for loving Maudie is to love her some more.

'Jan Ormerod's minimal text and Freya Blackwood's inspired illustrations perfectly capture the intricate relationship between parent and child. This is the ultimate of reassuring stories— it shows that a parent's love is inexhaustible.' (From the publisher's website.)

8 7 y separately published work icon Look, a Book! Libby Gleeson , Freya Blackwood (illustrator), ( trans. Paola Gallerani with title Guarda, un libro! ) Milan : Officina Libraria , 2011 Z1819096 2011 single work picture book children's 'You never know where it might take you. When two ragamuffins stumble across a book in the dust their world begins to change. The familiar becomes fantastical, the mundane becomes magical, and a fractured community finds a focus. Set in a dreary, underprivileged, contemporary world, Look, A Book! is an exhilarating whirl through the magic of imagination that leaves the reader in an vertiginous trance.' (Trove)
