I read this in one sitting today and absolutely loved it. I always learn new snippets of history from Emma Carroll’s books and this one combined a classic retelling and historical facts so brilliantly. What a thought-provoking book too. Emma Carroll 🇺🇦 #PrimarySchoolBookClub

Emma Carroll 🇺🇦 and Lauren Child's 'The Little Match Girl Strikes Back' is wonderful! Strikingly illustrated, bold, and brilliantly inspiring. A proper representation of life as a match girl but with a hopeful and gutsy ending. A must-read. Simon & Schuster Children's Books

A timely, great author-illustrator collaboration that refocuses upon activism for workers rights and against poverty, hunger and desperation. Love the blend of magic, history and protest, and Bridie’s gift for storytelling to sell hope on the streets. Beautiful physical book too.

Wow. What a book. It's been a while since I read a book in one sitting. I didn't intend to but I became so lost in this story and Bridie's voice. Stunning read of a Victorian tale of poverty and injustice & uncomfortably one for our modern times. #primaryschoolbookclub

Been so excited to read The Little Match Girl Strikes Emma Carroll 🇺🇦 #LaurenChild & now my copy is here. I’ll be ready for #PrimarySchoolBookClub now 🔥📖 #PrimarySchoolBookClub
