The author's lovely illustrations are the highlight of this tranquil tale that's a tribute to the imagination. Two young girls share a special place where they can dream, be other creatures, or simply be themselves. Everyone needs a hideaway.

In Melania Longo's picture book Hideaway, a brother and sister create a special place all their own. No one is allowed in excpet them. Alessandro Santa's dreamy, etheral illustrations give the poetic text a magical feeling. There is wonder and joy in having a place that's all your own and in imagining it to be even more than it is. This is a lovely tale, perfect for bedtime reading.

The illustrations in this story are exquisite ! I found myself lingering on each page just to take in every detail and enjoy the sense of calm the illustrations promote.

I’m thankful for a story that shows children how fun your own imagination can be in an era that is so busy and full of distractions.

Thank you RedComet Press and NetGalley for a digital copy.

Such a sweet and absolutely unique story!!
The illustrations are so creative and inviting, they certainly kept me reading. The mystery of where the children's hideaway was located was refreshed my childhood memories. What a great way for adult readers to remember what it was like to be a child again. What a marvelous way for children to expand their creative sprits.

What a wonderful book!!! I would recommend to readers of ALL ages.

Grateful to have received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley & Red Comet Press.

A beautiful tribute to nature. I was so pleased to find that this book speaks to people of all ages. As a child, this book is a reminder to go outside, play and enjoy nature. As an adult, it's a reminder to simplify our lives—happiness lives in the little things.
