Beautifully observed and written with a lightness and freshness that breathes life through every poem, Sparrows at the Breakfast Table invites us into a place of wonder and love. These family moments, most acute between a grandfather and grandson, are filled with gentle humour and deep tenderness. And there is nothing shallow here - these poems are not whimsies but serious reflections on the bonds we make across generations and how they go on reverberating in memory. In these exquisitely illustrated encounters, we find ourselves more able to savour what matters, to value the heart and soul of life. This is an enchanting collection that not only shines a light on our relationship to children but also invites us to connect again the child within each of us.

A unique, illustrated collection of poetry exploring themes of loss and togetherness.

There's a lovely spare clarity to the beautifully sculpted prose poems that make up Lines in the Sky - a sense of poignancy that is always well controlled as themes of love, loss, memory, family and friendship weave together. -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru
