‘Everyone’s falling for Laura Dockrill’ VOGUE 'TOP TEN LITERARY TALENT' THE TIMES 'I'd like to prescribe a healthy spoonful of Laura Dockrill' ― Guardian ‘The world is so lucky to be invited into the colourful imagination of my favourite person! You’re going to have fun.’ ADELE Praise for What Have I Done: ‘A humblingly honest and human war-report from the front lines of mothering, psychosis and recovery: there is no other book like it, and it is so desperately needed.’ – CAITLIN MORAN ‘Such a raw, honest and important book…the most important book of 2020.’ – GIOVANNA FLETCHER ‘Thank you for this book, for shining a light on the darkness of psychosis, an illness that absolutely does happen to people like us. I found this book a balm for my soul, and am grateful to Laura for bravely penning such a beautiful account of an illness that is rarely talked about.’ – BRYONY GORDON ‘Brave gift of a book.' – SOPHIE DAHL ‘Moving, a pleasure to read… I couldn’t put it down.’ – PHILIPPA PERRY ‘A book to save a whole generation of women.’ – ADELE ‘I was overwhelmed with relief to read this. A must-read for anyone who didn’t have the fairytale.’ – PALOMA FAITH ‘IT IS AMAZING. This book is proof that although your mind was your undoing it is also a truly incredible asset which is going to help so so many people.’ – CLEMMIE TELFORD ‘Mind-blowing’ – LEMN SISSAY Quotes for Children's Books: The Dream House: 'Little gem . . . Grief and joy in abundance, I found it incredibly moving – KIRAN MILLWOOD HARGRAVE 'It looks so slight. Its illustrations promise something gentle and delicate. So I have a feeling that this book may be mistaken as a quick and easy read - and it's not. It's something much more memorable, strange… And written in such a beautiful, original style! It's sophisticated, poetic, exquisitely sensitive to nature and sorrow and turmoil and desperation. And rich in metaphors...' – GERALDINE MCCAUGHREAN 'A beautiful, honest and powerful story exploring the loss of a parent. This difficult topic is handled bravely, with originality and warmth. Rex's story will break your heart then mend it.' – TAMSIN WINTER 'Loved The Dream House, I was in bits by the end. It's not easy to write about grief and Laura does it so beautifully; it bristles with colour and texture' POLLY DUNBAR 'Laura is one of the most original and interesting voices in children's literature and I always look forward to reading any new book she writes.' – FRANCESCA SIMON Darcy Burdock: 'The new Tracy Beaker' ― Observer 'Britain finally has an answer to Jeff Kinney and his Wimpy Kid' ― Bookzone Laura Dockrill is an award winning writer.
