Unique, folk-art style illustrations complement this tale of a kind-hearted monster who just wants to be accepted.
A misfit wanders from village to village, looking for a place to call home, only to be driven away by terrified villagers. One day, he begins secretly living alongside a family and comes to love this perfect family. Soon, he reveals himself to the family. This boldly illustrated tale will have readers sympathising with the monster's struggles of being accepted.
