Description
Feather is about a musical girl who is also tenacious, tough, and a real fighter. Living in a household consisting of her father and three brothers, Feather often gets the short end of the stick, meaning the laundry, cooking, and grocery shopping. One afternoon, she gets a black eye and all her plans change. This is a great book about being a girl, taking charge, and realizing your dreams!

Reviews / Votes
"The illustrations shine...with gorgeous, intricate scenes of Paulina's home life and training, thoughtful portraits of each character, and little treats such as boxing gloves arranged in a heart. ...a beautiful and unusual tale of family and strength."-Kirkus Reviews"Elegant and melancholic, Courgeon's posterlike images suit the mood of a story whose subtle details (of her father, a Russian miner turned cab driver: "Feather could see how tired he really was") create an intimate connection between readers and a girl who forges her own path."-Publishers Weekly
