The Paper Girl

By Caryl Lewis

Let yourself unfold . . . A fable about finding the strength to be who you really are, with words by a multi award-winning author and intricate papercut artwork from an extraordinary d but talent.

This is the story of a girl made from paper, who is bright and kind and eager to please.

When she is told she should be beautiful, she folds herself into a flower; when she is told she should be clever, she folds herself into a fox; when she is told she should be a "shining example to others", she folds herself into a star.

But nothing she does is ever quite enough--until she does something truly beautiful, clever and shiningly wonderful. She says, "No."

Multi award-winning author Caryl Lewis' powerful, tender words are paired with exquisite papercut art by d but illustrator Kanako Abe, in a treasurable, cloth bound volume.

An unforgettable fairy tale that invites readers to step into their strength and selfhood--a perfect gift for children and adults alike.
