Shirley’s work always to me seems to hum with warmth and kindness. Her characterisation was flawless, her detail incredible and her skill at creating drama and magic (often from the everyday) was just excellent. Masterful. 3/4

So very sad to hear that has died. Her work has been apart of my life for as long as I can remember.

As a child of the 80s I think I responded to the fact that in her work I saw me and the world around me. The clothes, the well loved toys, the lived in houses

Could anybody capture the magic of life from a child’s perspective like Shirley Hughes could?

Oh so sad to hear this. I loved Shirley Hughes when I was little & then all over again when I had a little one of my own. No one managed to capture the magic of everyday life from a child's eyes quite like her 💔 https://t.co/ILeGmNLAMC

RIP Shirley Hughes, note-perfect illustrator and writer of and for children. Her observational powers were astonishing. Look how much the pictures tell us about all three children and Mum, while the text just gives us the one perfectly placed 'anxiously'.

RIP Shirley Hughes. ‘I left school as soon as I could and went to Liverpool Art School when I was 16, to study history of costume. Later I decided to be an illustrator but I do think a book is a little theatre.’ https://t.co/5goTry0LDt

No one conveyed the small heartbreaks and riotous excitement of a toddler’s daily life like Shirley Hughes did - such tenderness, warmth, humour and understanding in every line. Desperately sorry to say goodbye to the creator of Dogger, Alfie, Lucy and Tom and so many more.

Thank you and goodbye to the wonderful Shirley Hughes. Her stories and illustrations were so real to me. This illustration is from the brilliant Dogger, the best story ever about sibling love.
