Book SynopsisA fantastic Christmas present for Neil Gaiman super fans ** AS SEEN ON CHANNEL 4 NEWS ** Sometimes it only takes a stranger in a dark place... to say we have the right to be here, to make us warm in the coldest season. In 2019, Neil Gaiman asked his Twitter followers: What reminds you of warmth? Over 1,000 responses later, Neil began to weave replies from across the world into a poem in aid of the UNHCR’s winter appeal. It revealed our shared desire to feel safe, welcome and warm in a world that can often feel frightening and lonely. Sales of every copy of this book will help support the work of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which helps forcibly displaced communities and stateless people across the world. Now publishing in hardback and illustrated by a group of artists from around the world, What You Need to Be Warm is an exploration of displacement and flight from conflict through the objects and memories that represent warmth. It is about our right to feel safe, whoever we are and wherever we are from. It is about holding out a hand to welcome those who find themselves far from home. Featuring new, original illustrations from Chris Riddell, Benji Davies, Yuliya Gwilym, Nadine Kaadan, Daniel Egnéus, Pam Smy, Petr Horácek, Beth Suzanna, Bagram Ibatoulline, Marie-Alice Harel, Majid Adin and Richard Jones, with a thought-provoking cover from Oliver Jeffers.Trade ReviewThis timely book is a reminder of the basic human need for comfort and shelter * Daily Mail *

A brilliant, witty and inventive picture book with cutting-edge art, which is sure to be a hit with existing fans of Neil Gaiman as well as young readers.Trade ReviewThis book is quite extraordinary. Extraordinary and scary. But also madly inventive and madly funny. * Guardian *This spectacular book, with its stylish blend of photography, paint, collage and drawing does not look like most children's picture books. It is atmospheric, sinister, scary and funny ... This is a book for cool kids who will grow up to be fearless. -- Nicolette Jones * Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week *A riotously strange, funny and scary picture book for fright-loving older readers. McKean's spiky art, with its imaginative use of photography is the real star turn here and has to be seen to be believed. * Ink Magazine *Neil Gaiman fuses some classic fictional strands as Lucy's fears are ignored by her family...Gaiman doesn't waste words as he builds up first fear and then a delicious sense of relief achieved by some moments of real humour. -- Julia Eccleshare * Guardian *Bringing the unsettling quality of his brilliant Coraline novel to picture books, Neil Gaiman has teamed up with illustrator Dave McKean to create the unparalleled The Wolves in the Walls. Despite the flashes of humour and the clearly nonsensical proposition at the heart of this book, this is deeply scary stuff... * Sunday Telegraph *Like so much of Gaiman’s work Wolves is brimming with atmosphere and ambiguity, laced with fear and doubt and refuses to provide any easy answers. * The Guardian *A truly imaginative tale matched by a visual treat of painting, collage and drawing. * Independent on Sunday *A strange but hilarious romp. * What's on in London *There are moments of humour in both text and illustration, which will be adored by courageous readers. * Book Trust *Gaiman's text rings with energetic confidence and an inviting tone, even as he leads readers into a bizarre and potentially spine-tingling scenario. * Publishers Weekly *Against shadow-filled backdrops that blend paint, digital manipulation and photography, [McKean's] stylized human figures look right at home. * Publishers Weekly *
