The Paper Girl -- Caryl Lewis, Hardcover
A spellbinding keepsake book about learning to say 'no' and the transformative beauty of becoming who you truly are--brought to life with exquisite papercut artwork. This is the story of a girl made of paper: bright, kind, and eager to please. When she's told she should be beautiful, she folds herself into a flower. When she's told she should be clever, she folds herself into a fox. When she's told she should be "a shining example to others," she folds herself into a star. But no matter what she becomes, it never feels like enough--until she does something truly beautiful, clever, and wonderfully brave. She says, "No." This modern fairy tale is powerfully written by award-winning author Caryl Lewis and illuminated with exquisite papercut illustrations by debut artist Kanako Abe.
Presented as a beautiful hardcover, with an intricately embossed cover and gilded edges, this book is perfect for both kids and adults--an invitation to honor your strength, embrace your voice, and discover your true self. 'Powerful, moving and magical.' - Eloise Williams
'A real work of art with a powerful message about staying true to yourself. This is a book to read, share and treasure.' - Clare Fayers
'A poignant and truly moving tale of empowerment that will speak across generations.' - Sita Brahmachari
