A story about friendship, adventure and finding your home. PRAISE 'Juliette MacIver cleverly explores concepts around identity in this upbeat picture book for readers aged two and up: how one can assimilate to a strange environment and be happy there; and how being different is not necessarily a bad thing.' -- Books + Publishing , four stars'The story is easy to read aloud and has just the right amount of repetition and prompting to encourage youngsters to join in . The illustrations are bright and colourful, yet soft at the same time, which I like for the targeted 2-5 year old audience. There's animals to identify and count and the colourful feather endpapers are a delight.

Gwendolyn is a lovely story to read and enjoy, or could be used as a prompt for a discussion about belonging.' -- Reading Time AWARDS Finalist - 2017 New Zealand Book Awards Notable Book - 2017 Storylines Notable Book Award.
