Rebecca Elliott sees and reads colours to great effect.A" Carousel [Rebecca Elliott is] an exceptionally talented illustratorA"Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading4kids "Rebecca Elliott's 'Zoo Girl' is a picture book with minimal but powerful text and moving, sombre illustrations. Children will easily engage with the emotions of a little girl who longs to be loved. Accidentally left behind on a trip to the zoo, this lonely child finds affection from the animals who care for her, but it is the zoo-keepers who ultimately offer her the love and family that she craves. Children will talk endlessly about this book, and teachers will love it." Marilyn Brocklehurst, The Bookseller "Written with very few but poignant words, and an illustrative style that is both touching and captivating, Rebecca Elliott's book has all the hallmarks of a classic."
