Press Reaction
Sadbdh Devlin and Tarsila Kruse offer a story that any child will easily identify with. Devlin taps into the inventiveness of children forced to use their own resources without an adult to entertain them. Kruse, meanwhile, relishes the opportunity to flesh out the story with visual detail. The “photograph” spreads will provide a great talking point for children and their adult reader. The Irish Times

The Irish Examiner- Kruse’s lively illustrations capture Luna’s persistence, and, in the endpapers the fun she has with her now obedient mother.

Luna is an inventor with a problem – Mum is too busy to play with her brand new Time Machine.
Can Luna find a way to help Mum make time to play?

“With gorgeous pictures by Tarsila Krüse, Sadhbh Devlin’s “Come Play With Me!”
reminds us that we all need to make time for play.”
PJ Lynch, Laureate na nÓg
Children’s Laureate of Ireland
