This is a description, not a review. More about that.
The Girl, The Lights & The Prince
A girl who heals the world by dancing, told in rhyming poems and rhythmic prose.
What it is
This is the first book in a trilogy from Kisszu. A girl grows up in a forest full of friends, protected by the Lights, three mysterious and kind beings. When a prince comes searching for her, her curiosity takes her far from home, and the story becomes one about growing into who she is meant to be.
It is told in rhyming poems and rhythmic prose, and the five main characters take their names from five languages. The heroine, Elämä, gets hers from the Finnish word for life. It is a story about curiosity, friendship and care for the planet, built for reading, listening and watching together.
