Simply yet powerfully told, The Laugh is a beautiful, gentle story with tender and expressive illustrations, and a comforting message about the ways we hold loved ones close even when they're no longer with us. It's a book that will surely mean a lot to many children, families and adults alike. -- Harry Woodgate, author of 'Grandad's Camper'

It provides comfort that life will improve without in any way diminishing the loss. -- Chris Haughton, author of 'A Bit Lost'
A beautiful and personally relatable book with the most powerful and inspirational message about working through grief and how we never really lose the ones we love. -- Alex Willmore, illustrator of 'The Runaway Pea'
