Book Review
There’s a fabulous plot that takes the reader from Luna’s birth through her new home and adventures to discovering her real value in life. All of this is told in excellent, straightforward language that not only conveys the narrative well and is interesting, but is accessible for slightly older children of around six to read independently so that their own literacy can be enhanced at the same time as they are being entertained. - Linda Hill Amazon 5Star Review of "Luna The Moon Pig: The Pig Who Hid" (excerpt)

"When a child reads a well-loved book that is part of a series, the child and the characters grow together, and, in readers' imaginations and memory they'll be lifetime companions" - Suzy Davies
Suzy Davies 17
Here is a modern fairy story that many younger teenage girls will love. Full of magic and mystery and adventure, it is a loose retelling of the Hans Christian Anderson Snow Queen story, with its action moving between (a version of) London, Ireland and Finland, with the unambiguously modern start and finish bookending an adventure that appears to happen in a timeless world of fairytale.
The characters are well drawn, and the story unfolds with a sense of magic and wonder.
Book Review
...Readers will enjoy the animal characters in this book and the beautiful illustrations in vivid colors that showcase the animals on their adventures. The added illustrations in this chapter book may also help the reader to more clearly imagine what is happening in the text of the story. Readers may also enjoy that Housie Mousie and Ratty each have an inquisitive character that is relatable to curious children who like to ask questions about the world through exploration like Housie and Ratty do in the story.

There Jintara sat, at the treadle. The wheel spun round. As if in a dream, she sewed a thousand colors, thread upon thread. When all was finished, Jintara held the work up to the light at her window. She noticed a long rainbow thread, made of many threads tangled together, that trailed from the quilt. She snipped it, with her scissors, as a midwife would cut an umbilical cord.

Goodreads Book Reviewer
Luna the Moon Pig is absolutely adorable but, sadly, she believes herself to be ugly. An endearing story by Suzy Davies and wonderfully illustrated in colour by the illustrator and animator, Sheila Graber - well-known for her BBC Paddington Bear drawings. I love the positive message of the book and completely recommend it.
5-Star Book Review 1
The themes presented are so good for children to encounter and explore without feeling threatened personally. Luna lacks confidence in her appearance but comes to realise that beauty is on the inside too. She is aware of stranger danger and yet understands there is an exciting world to investigate but that family and home are important. I loved the blend of traditional fairy tale elements like wishes and magic alongside the more prosaic (and that’s not a criticism) aspects of simply having fun.
5-Star Book Review 2
By the side of the river he trotted as one trots, when very small, by the side of a man who holds one spellbound by exciting stories; and when tired at last, he sat on the bank, while the river still chattered on to him, a babbling procession of the best stories in the world, sent from the heart of the earth to be told ...
Kenneth Grahame
The power of imagination is often underestimated, and yet it is this very thing that gives children the motivation to create, to invent and to make discoveries. Without imagination there would be no ground-braking science, no art, no visionary business people, and no winners of The Nobel Peace Prize. Moreover, there would be no writers. Reading books is essential for stimulating the imaginations of children who make the future -Suzy Davies

It’s a great fairytale retelling for kids over 9 years. Set in snowy Alaska, the story actually has a consultant who won the dog sledding race in 2019 and provides real facts for the tale. It is beautifully illustrated, and I love how it is written in a riveting, cinematic style with vivid descriptions and various viewpoints.

This is such a good fairytale book! Like many other said, its different spin on the classic little red riding hood story with a combination of both magical and realistic details. Its much longer and different that the classic story which makes it a good read for children if they're already over the original.

I love that this retelling uses Alaska for the setting. Stella is a well-developed, exciting, and strong character that overcomes challenges and learns to believe in herself through the story.

“Hold on!” Queenie said in a loud voice. “I want to see who is here!”
Queenie, the bird mum, counted her children.
“Gray’s missing, Mum,” Pinky said, puffing out her pink feathers.
“Yes, Pinky!”
“Ah, never mind!” Queenie thought. “He will get here, slowly, but surely!”

Robinage Review
"Greenland was a wilderness of great beauty, mystery and magic. Greenland was where he really belonged - that's what being at home meant to him"
Suzy Davies
Really enjoyed this version of the classic red riding hood story. The mix of fantasy and reality set in Alaska with the added sled dog racing story line keeps the reader engaged. The illustrations are colorful and well done. Charming story for all ages.

Book Review from the legendary Sheila Graber
Suzy Davies sent me a script for her book "The Cave" - I was so impressed with the way she wove fact and fiction, drama and humor together in a poetic - but so down to earth (or is it rock) - way that I immediately wanted to illustrate it. Happily, Suzy agreed - I know you will enjoy reading this unique story as much as I - and love the appropriate ending to the days of knife-edge drama for the lads in the team - "Football's Coming Home"

Khun Mae went to bed past midnight. After a few minutes, her mouth opened. Her hair was a dark cloud on the pillow. Up and up, she drifted above her bed, through the white mosquito nets, until she was as light as a sea bird. She drifted through the open flap of her window, into the balmy night air. Through the rainstorm she flew, over the city of Bangkok and its blurry lights, until the stars themselves guided this bird on her journey into the mountains, and above Tham Luang cave.
"THE CAVE" EPUB NEW ON SMASHWORDS

The Snow Queen reminds me of dreaming, moving from scene to scene, person to person, shifting images, points of view, elements of both ordinary life mixed with fantasy images. I'm not overly familiar with the genre of magic realism, but this reminds me of what I've seen. The story is told with beautiful imagery and ends nicely... I believe it would be good for young adults. Teen girls may especially enjoy the story.

#TheCave by #Suzy Davies on # Smashwords:
"As he spoke these words, a giant wave, just like the one in Katsushika Hokusai’s, “The Great Wave off Kanagawa,” rippled in below the lofty ledge. Chaiya saw a thousand images in a second.“Brothers!” he shouted.“Brothers! Brothers! Brothers!…”His voice echoed and vibrated through their hearts.They were all wide awake.“The presence in the cave will swallow us up,” Chaiya thought." https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9386018 via @goodreads

"A little later, Snugs heard a strange sound through the lighthouse walls. The moose were fast asleep, and they were snoring. Snugs also heard the sound of the sea. It was high tide, and the sound of the waves coming in sounded like the breath of an enormous dinosaur."

We can count all our Christmases in books, all our memories of childhood.

This is a quotation from Book One of The Snugs Series - Out Now on Kindle and in Paperback and Hardback
“It was high tide and the sound of the waves
coming in sounded like the breath of an enormous dinosaur.
Round the lighthouse, on the opposite side to Snugs’ room, Mr andMrs Merryweather put down the blinds and blew out the candle. They were very tired, and tomorrow was Christmas Eve on The Isle of Wight.”
― Suzy Davies, Snugs The Snow Bear

As a former teacher and school principal, I have a special place in my heart for children’s books. To have an impact there needs to be so many components all clicking together. Children can be a tough audience! This story hits all of them and as such gets 5 oinky stars!
