Alma and the Beast

Luscious art from featured author-illustrator Esmé Shapiro brings this unusual story to magical, marvelous life. It’s a subtle exploration of acceptance and individuality written in the same vein as Where the Wild Things Are—but from the perspective of a hairy creature who suddenly finds a hairless “beast” in her garden. It’s a warmly-imaginative, fantastic fairytale, and it’s stolen all our hearts.
