This is beautifully illustrated with super clean lines and a subtle colour palette. It's really easy on the eyes. The author's notes after the story fleshed out a lot of the ideas that he had developing the characters and the influences that were integrated to give each character, time and country a unique sense of place. The ballet scenes gave me Revolutionary Girl: Utena vibes.
This is a story of hope, that explores what it is like to find belonging when you are between worlds. It's a way to find words when your language doesn't quite match up with your deepest feelings, and though it's told through shared fairytale stories, these serve as a starting point for understanding real life.
I'm going to try and convince my daughter to read this one because I think it might be right up her alley... and isn't sharing stories what it's all about?
