A timely celebration of togetherness in the form of a comforting bedtime story with breathtaking illustrations. 'Close your eyes now and remember you are part of everything.' When a little girl feels lonely in the dark, her sister takes her on a dreamy journey to imagine ways they can be part of something bigger - as waves in the water, as raindrops in a shower or as feathers on a wing. Part adventure, part lullaby, this comforting story reminds us that we are not alone.
Maria Speyer is a Danish-born artist, illustrator and author who lives with her husband and daughters in Sydney, where she draws, paints and writes in her studio at home. She has presented papers on imagistic thinking and the phenomenology of drawing and published and illustrated a number of Danish children's books. A Feather on a Wing is her first book in English.
