The Girl with No Name - Paperback

by Finn Moore (Author), Wendy Straw (Illustrator)

This exquisitely illustrated and beautifully written children's picture book tells the tale of a girl with no name who lives alone in the forest. A curious raven comes to visit, and slowly a friendship grows as they find a language to share.

This picture book for older readers pairs the quiet, atmospheric prose-poetry of Finn Moore with the superb and unique art of Wendy Straw to subtly explore themes of inner strength and isolation, the conquering of loneliness and fear, and the tentative broaching of friendship across language and perhaps cultural boundaries. It is an extraordinary work of illustrated literary fiction--simple yet layered, immersive and powerful.
