‘Why do we read stories!’ yawned the I-am-not-sleepy little girl.
Her grandmother asked back, ‘Why do you think?
The characters? The worlds they create? Maybe as a way to escape?’
‘Yes, ‘ she replied through eyes full of sand. ‘Yes, all of that. And .. , ‘
‘ … and we see our Self in the tale, ‘ her grandmother said like she knew it well.
‘We seek ourselves in who we meet, and choose which bits to lose and keep.’
So begins bedtime, as a grandmother reads her granddaughter the story she most loves to tell. The story of a girl who leaves home to seek a bigger world, meets three allies along the way, and travels a road much different than what she expected.
Sound familiar?
Step into a story Morgan Llywelyn calls, ‘unlike any other yet hauntingly familiar. Both intimate and universal. Shimmering with magic to excite the senses.’ In verses charmingly brought to life in 29 full-page watercolor illustrations by Angel Dominguez, The Girl Who Wrote Her Own Fairytale wants to entertain, intrigue and empower readers of all ages, throughout the ages.
