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."
Powerfully written by multi-award-winning author Caryl Lewis, with exquisite papercut artwork by debut illustrator Kanako Abe. Packaged as a beautiful hardback with gilded edges, an embossed cover and an intricate diecut design sitting over the title page, this is an invitation to celebrate your strength and find your true self, for children and adults alike.
