Reviews

"[The book's events] showcase Druvert's laser-cut silhouette illustrations, which feature remarkably intricate replications of ironwork, constellations, cityscapes, and more." —Publishers Weekly

"A memorable showcase for a talented paper artist. Silhouettes, both printed and laser-cut, add sparkle to a quick tour of London sites and starry skies conducted by Mary Poppins. The black, cut pages are designed to be flipped back and forth to fill in printed cityscapes, marine scenes, and speckled firmaments with fine detail." —Kirkus Reviews
