The Paper Girl

The Paper Girl is a spellbinding fable with papercut artwork, about a girl made of paper who learns to stop trying to please others and discovers the strength to be herself.  

A spellbinding keepsake book about learning to say ‘no’ and the transformative beauty of becoming who you truly are, brought to life with exquisite papercut artwork. 
 
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.’ 
 
So unfolds this modern fairy tale, powerfully written by the multi-award-winning author, Caryl Lewis. Her words are paired with exquisite papercut artwork by début illustrator Kanako Abe. 
 
Beautifully packaged in a cloth bound hardback, suitable for children and adults alike, this is an invitation to celebrate your strength and find your true self.
