A joyful, empowering call to be the hero of your OWN story!
A girl opens up a book looking for the story that's perfect for HER and tumbles inside. But Goldilocks is not her story, and nor is Jack and the Beanstalk or Little Red Riding Hood … There's only one thing for it: she's going to have to write her own story - and this time, SHE will be the hero.
A celebration of the stories we ALL love and the stories we are yet to write, this vivid, irresistible picture book introduces the terrific new partnership of Smriti Halls (bestselling author of I'm Sticking with You illustrated by Steve Small and Rain Before Rainbows illustrated by David Litchfield) and Erika Meza (award-winning illustrator of My Two Border Towns written by David Bowles).
Also by Smriti Halls and published by Simon & Schuster: I'm Sticking With You I'm Sticking With You Too Let's Stick Together
