Praise for THE STORM WHALE
"Like the best picture books, "The Storm Whale" has an outsize emotional force that often comes from what the author-illustrator Benji Davies leaves out" - New York Times

Praise for THE STORM WHALE IN WINTER
"Intensely atmospheric, full of biting cold, tender detail and warm light, this is a book to cuddle up with" - The Guardian

Praise for GRANDAD'S ISLAND
"A gently magical story about bidding farewell to a grandparent, Davies' vibrant palette infuses the story with a hopeful spirit" - Huffington Post

"Benji Davies didn't invent the melancholy sea story, but he sure knows how to deliver one...'Grandad's Island' metaphorically and movingly re-imagines the experience of loss" - Boston Globe
