“For proof that picture books can accommodate a great sweep of place, time and emotion, consider the work of Bob Graham. His stories focus on a detail and open up, like a camera zooming out, until we see a whole panorama. […] Simply drawn, with muted colours, big scenes and faces with blobby noses, this also has Graham’s characteristic compassion.”
