Description
Discover seven unique fables, filled with humour, heart and hope, from Onjali Q. Rauf, author of The Boy at the Back of the Class. Beautifully illustrated in black and white by Katarzyna Doszla, this is the perfect book to read and cherish together.
Have you heard of the tiger with no tail? Or of the extra-specially-super-deliciously-fantastically naughty boy who got a frog stuck in his throat? No? Well, tuck yourself in, and let Onjali Rauf entertain you with her first collection of never-before-told fables of magic and mischief...
From the sand-laden shores of Egypt where an axe married a tree, to the mountains of Japan where dragons and hungry mirrors roam, discover new tales of magic, wonder and imagination, inspired by old sayings, everyday objects and countries of the world.
Written with Onjali's trademark heart and humour, and inspired by her travels, Where Magic Grows is a compilation of seven original fairy tales where friendship, kindness - and poetry - await.
