Smashing reviews from Parents in Touch

Parents in Touch have reviewed our latest books and have given them rave reviews! First of all they had some wonderful things to say about us:

“Maverick Publishing publish some of the best children’s picture books and I always look forward to reviewing them; the story lines are always strong and the illustrations excellent.” 

Thank you very much indeed! One of our priorities at Maverick is to publish stories of the highest quality and find illustrators to match. We pride ourselves on finding the best new talent out there and giving first time authors and illustrators a first step in the wonderful and crazy world of children’s publishing.

All of our May books are written by our established Maverick authors who just get better and better!

“If you are digger-mad, then the life of a pirate just isn’t for you! Great fun, with lively illustrations to engage the reader throughout. The wonderful rhyming text simply trips off the tongue and carries you forward through the story quite wonderfully.”
