The opening chapter sees Leila nervously negotiating passport control ‘Look them in the eyes, but don’t stare, don’t blink too much, smile, not with teeth, with your eyes, but don’t squint.‘ and Miso , unaware of the miles she has to cover, ‘is full of needs she has no names for, and follows them like a magnet toward its true North.’ Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing -

Leila and the Blue Fox is a complete standalone story, but takes all the elements that made Julia so great, and builts upon it.

And again; all these elements together add up to more than the sum of its parts, and make an impactful story about a potentially difficult topic approachable to young readers and adults alike. This time, instead of themes of mental health like in Julia’s story, Leila takes on migration; both natural- and human alike. This is an extraordinary book - wild and beautiful and perfect.
