In this reimagining of Thumbelina, a girl outgrows the safety of her petalled blankets only to be passed from one suitor to the next. What fairy tales promise as happy endings become crucibles - where romance is tumultuous, love is liminal, survival demands subservience and smallness is a virtue.
'Told through memory, myth, and metaphor, this coming-of-age tale explores the dark but necessary work of launching from isolation to awakening, as Posy learns what it means to become herself.
This book lives where humour and pathos entwine.
On the Back of a Bird is a lyrical feminist fable set in the grunge scene of Seattle, in today's social climate with themes as resonant now as ever. It's for the quiet-hearted, the brave and for those becomingmore than they were ever taught to be.
