We Go to the Park.

Enchanted Lion Books, 2024.

Atmospheric and dreamlike, with a naïveté in the illustrations that harks back to children’s art.

The plain, stark white pages which are interspersed throughout, offset the mostly full-page, colour saturated illustrated pages.

There is a longing and pathos, and a yearning, to the text.
