Jenny Kelly – Associate Art Director, Dial Books for Young Readers (Penguin Random House)
'Working with Hannah was an absolute pleasure. Her interpretation of the text lyrics really outshone any visions that I initially had. Hannah’s artwork was both humorous and energetic, perfectly capturing the aesthetic we were looking for. I was very pleased with the final book and would love to work with Hannah again in the near future!'
