To be published by our children’s imprint, Titania, May 2019

Winter’s Tale is an illustrated book about a child called Winter, who has never had a proper home; a child who is not this and not that, but her own thing. A child who is looking for parents and a family; a sense of belonging. A child who sees movement in graffiti and strange hares in the moon. Who meets a girl with a skateboard and learns to fly; who finds a home, with the most curious of families. Winter’s Tale is a story about finding your true self and your true home; about family and belonging; about art, magic and freedom.

We aim to create readers.We plan to raise questions in their minds, provoke discussion and foster a community of young readers who will go on to challenge the status quo as they grow and develop. And who, as they read, will discover the magic in words, and the magic in the world. Read the rest of this entry »
