My Way Home is a fun adventure in a wonderfully illustrated world. What I love about the legends of little folk is both the awe of a world so much bigger than you and the danger that comes with it. Heaton strikes the balance well. Take the fox. Her orange-red fur is beautiful and vivid but when she catches Kit in her sights it’s clear how much danger he’s in. Or the sight of Kit at the base of a tree bigger than anything in his world.

Quick-witted and determined, I enjoyed seeing how Kit worked through obstacles. I was surprised by some of his strategies but they felt natural to someone who lives as he does.

But I can’t emphasise enough how beautiful this book is. There are various styles of composition used through the book but my favourite are its borders that show off the kind of wildlife to be found in the environments that Kit finds himself travelling through. It made me want to go out and see what might be living around me.
