An original and heart-warming story of two children who come together by chance on a ferris wheel. It is a subtle exploration of life before adoption that captures the wonder and beauty of a child’s imagination.
The sophisticated written text is evocative of place, character and mood and marries very well with the limited palette illustrations representing the ‘night light sparkle’ of the fairground setting. The visual storytelling of a child raised by moths is engaging and stimulates further exploration of the subtext within the narrative. The enchanting and uplifting resolution and coda complete the narrative beautifully.
