Cass and the Beast

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

When a fearful beast arrives in the township, Cass finds her courage and is rewarded with a wild and magical journey. The creature takes her on a thundering ride through a forested landscape, leaving the town and people far behind. In the wilderness that is home to the beast, Cass finds adventure, ferocity, and gentleness. And the beast finds its name. 

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