The Legend of a Girl

By Cameron Kawato

What is the greatest story ever told?

When a young girl named Sofia asks her parents to tell her the greatest story of all, they offer her something even better, the chance to find it herself.

Sofia sets out on a journey through her village, asking everyone she meets. A fruit vendor shares the wonder of a tiny seed becoming a tree. A train conductor marvels at the miles his trains travel. A librarian searches shelf after shelf but can't say for certain. Then she hears of a wise man who lives high in the mountains - a man who tells the greatest stories anyone has ever heard.

The path is steep. The wind is bitter. Her legs want to give up. But Sofia's heart tells her to keep going.

What she discovers at the top of the mountain isn't the answer she expected. It's something far more powerful.

The Legend of a Girl is a beautifully illustrated picture book about courage, curiosity, and the story only you can write with your life. Along the way, Sofia encounters the legends of remarkable women from Italian history - a groundbreaking scientist, a gifted musician, and a fearless leader - reminding readers of every age that greatness isn't something you find. It's something you create.
