Say It!

By Charlotte Zolotow

Illustrated by Charlotte Voake

A very sweet, intimate portrayal of a mother-daughter relationship from two incredibly well-respected picture book creators.

A very sweet, intimate portrayal of a mother-daughter relationship from two incredibly well-respected picture book creators. On a golden, windy autumn day, a mother and a daughter go walking among the swirling leaves. As they share little adventures together – seeing a kitten, noticing the leaves' colours, watching the setting sun colouring the clouds – the little girl keeps urging her mother to "Say it." What it is isn't revealed until the last page of the book ... and, it turns out for both mother and daughter, it was being said all along.

Reviews

'A hymn to nature, this lyrical book is deeply moving and captures the joy of a love between mother and daughter. The loose, energetic illustrations evoke the glory of a golden autumn day. This is truly a book to be treasured.' Inis Reading Guide

'To celebrate autumn – and the unique relationship between mothers and daughters – here is a beautifully tender and reassuring picture book […] There is a moving emotional intensity to Zolotow’s portrayal of the magical bond of love between parents and children which will appeal to generations young and old.' Lancashire Evening Post

'There is a moving emotional intensity to Zolotow’s portrayal of the magical bond of love between parents and children which will appeal to generations young and old. A picture classic just made for sharing at bedtime.' Lancashire Evening Post

'Zolotow’s uplifting poetic text (originally written well over thirty years ago) has the perfect complement in Charlotte Voake’s warm pen-and-ink and watercolour illustrations. The scenes are alive with autumn colours and the tenderness that so evidently exists between mother and daughter.' Red Reading Hub

'This is a book to share – an intimate book – that would be a pleasure to read not just for the emotional content, the visual appeal but also the design with a bold font that requires no effort. An inspired pairing.' Books for Keeps
