Cass and the Beast

A sweeping and original picture book about a girl who chooses not to be afraid

When a fearful creature arrives in the township, Cass takes her courage in hand and
is rewarded with a wild and magical journey. She is lifted onto the creature’s back and
taken on a thundering ride through a forested landscape until the town and the people
are far behind. Through her ride with the beast, Cass finds adventure, ferocity and
gentleness side by side.

Atmospheric and beautiful illustrations complement an original narrative voice in
this compelling collaboration between an author and illustrator from opposite sides
of the world.

Cass is a thoroughly contemporary heroine who inhabits a story that we feel in our
bones like an ancient folktale.
