This is one of the most creative books I’ve ever read!
Inspired by a hand-embroidered shawl from Palestine, Isol Misenta takes it to the next level by using both the front and reverse sides of the shawl as a canvas, characters to it for storytelling.
Leilah lives in a perfect village (the front/right side), but on the reverse, lies the ‘Other Side’, a messy realm filled with strange beasts that often appear in her dreams. Lately, she has been losing many things. Then she finds holes in the fabric and mends them so that nothing falls through to the Other Side. But every action has a consequence…
Read “𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴” and embark on a creative journey with Leilah as she moves between the front and the reverse!
I can’t imagine the immense possibilities this book holds for inspiring children. Perfect for all ages!
