Condition: Used - Very good

Written and illustrated by Beatrice Alemagna 

★ A New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Book of 2019

Child of Glass is the story of Gisele, a fragile yet resilient girl whose transparency reveals the quiet cruelties of the world around her. Told in spare, poetic language accessible to readers of all ages, the book reminds us that becoming ourselves is our deepest birthright. Freedom, it suggests, is not found in accepting things as they are, but in questioning, resisting, and acting in ways that allow us to feel truly at home in the world.
A moving exploration of difference, exclusion, and ultimately self-acceptance, Child of Glass traces the delicate interplay between inner and outer worlds, and the courageous journey required to become who we are.
