Reviews

What a gift Harry Baker has to fill pages with such beauty and humour and happiness. Tender is an exquisite, funny look into the life and love of a new dad -- HOLLIE McNISH In Tender Harry has captured the wonder, joy and trepidation of being a new parent wonderfully. Harry uses words like a painter uses colours, combining them in a unique way to create images that allow us to see the world through new eyes -- JOHN BISHOP Praise for Harry Baker: 'Absolutely beautiful -- ZOE BALL Harry Baker is a charming, fun, funny, revelatory, relatable wordsmith -- RAYMOND ANTROBUS He's a mathematician and a poet, so his words are very well calculated -- BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH I'm in the Harry Baker fan club -- JACQUELINE WILSON He's a champion -- ED SHEERAN Harry Baker's way with words is entirely fascinating. His mathematical genius meets with the wonder of a golden retriever let loose on the beach -- DONNA ASHWORTH It's tight, clever and intricate writing that has made Harry Baker a show stealer every time I've had him at my spoken word nights -- SCROOBIUS PIP Harry's Gift is that he makes us all feel less alone. Once you read his words or listen to his poems, they stay with you forever. They walk alongside you, however bumpy the road. His words are there; they put their arm around you and stroll perfectly in time with your heart beat -- JAMES CORDEN
