Reviews
Thoughtful and intriguing. . . The words have a calming, soothing effect. . . I love it because the artwork is so beautiful. . . Utterly beguiling.
This intriguing picture book by the Turkish illustrator Merve Atilgan follows a girl who creates an enchanted forest in her mind. Lush, translucent layers of colour reveal a "secret world": a Turkish version of woodland fairies and magic that feels quite unfamiliar.
There is wonder, dancing and celebration of nature in every whimsical journey she makes in this beautifully drawn bedtime story.
