There must be candles

from ‘Michael Rosen’s Sad Book’

Michael Rosen’s book about bereavement, written following the death of his teenage son, Eddie, started out as an email from Michael to his publisher. But, Michael says, “Quentin didn't illustrate it, he 'realized' it. He turned the text into a book and as a result showed me back to myself. No writer could ask and get more than that."
Original artwork from Sad Book are in the exhibition ‘Quentin Blake: Inside Stories’ which is touring the UK until late 2017.
