Howl

‘I love the impish characterisation of a little girl exploring her own anger and the boundaries of her world … it chimes so resoundingly … Howl is a timely reminder that most of us are overdue a good wail in the moonlight.’
—Sophie Morris , i Newspaper

‘This whimsical fable about feelings uses humour and wild imagination to push the boundaries of bad temper towards a catharsis … Evie Barrow’s hand-drawn pencil illustrations pulse with detail and angry-faced Maggie, with her canine fangs, is a petulant delight.’
—Sara Keating , The Irish Times

‘Beautifully illustrated and moving … With fantastic drawings … this book is perfect for sparking emotional display artwork ideas.’
—The School Reading List

‘If this isn’t THE book for all the 2020 Big Feelings, then I don’t know what is.’
—Shannon Wong-Nizic , Oh Creative Day

‘In Howl Patrick’s warm storytelling style is beautifully enriched by Barrow’s bright, textured pencil drawings. Scribble has consistently put out fantastic children’s books since its launch in late 2016 and Howl is no exception. This is exactly the kind of gorgeous, imaginative, giftable picture book that booksellers will find themselves recommending far and wide come the lead-up to Christmas.’
—Bronte Coates , Books+Publishing

‘Howl is a book for our times, especially for mothers and children in lockdown. The narrative encourages us to express our emotions, it’s cathartic to howl it all out!’
—Leesa Lambert, The Little Bookroom

’A pedagogical book that gets to the very core of emotional intelligence.’
—Jessica Sweedler DeHart, Neill Public Library

‘Perceptive and non-judgemental … the story itself has a timeless feel and is accompanied by beautiful textured pencil drawings … empowering.’
—Anne Thompson, The School Librarian
