Author & Illustrators
A simple, powerful way to introduce the idea of kindness to strangers to young children. School librarian Tanya says, “The Suitcase had an immediate impact on pupils in our library, who were moved to perform it, as the various characters, to classes throughout the school. This empathy-building story of the arrival of a refugee is beautiful and accessible. Chris Naylor-Ballesteros’ illustrations have the simplicity to appeal to a young audience, but tell a deeper tale in their detail, which the older children recognised and respected.”
