Sweep by award-winning author Louise Greig is a beautifully crafted children's book that tenderly addresses the theme of managing big emotions. Aimed at young readers aged 3 and up, this enchanting tale provides a comforting narrative that helps children understand and navigate their feelings.
The story follows Ed, whose bad mood begins as a tiny, almost unnoticeable thing but quickly grows and spreads throughout his town. As Ed learns to sweep his troubles away, children are invited to explore a world filled with wonder and empathy. With its soothing rhythm, Sweep is the perfect bedtime read, instilling valuable lessons on emotional awareness.
Louise Greig's lyrical voice shines in this book, drawing inspiration from her rich childhood influences, including the works of beloved authors like Margaret Wise Brown and Maurice Sendak. Her previous work, The Night Box, has received international acclaim, showcasing her extraordinary ability to weave magic into her storytelling.
Adding an enchanting visual layer to the narrative, the illustrations by Jùlia Sardà bring Ed's journey to life. Based in Barcelona, Jùlia's experience working with Disney/Pixar and her talent in illustrating timeless classics result in stunning artwork that beautifully complements the story.
Sweep is not just a book; it's a cherished experience that combines poetic storytelling with exquisite illustrations, making it an essential addition to any child's library.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
