"I dream to wear a dress so vast
from the deepest cave to the highest mast
stretched farther than the eye can see
but who will make one for me?"

“The Girl with the Sea for a Dress and Other Tales” is a quartet of short stories in verse for children of all ages about resistance, empowerment, and transformation through dream and imagination.
Iona searches for friendship in the beauty and mystery of nature, the Moon takes a break from the sky to look for enchantment in the everyday, a little Rock realises that he already has everything he needs to achieve his dream inside of him, and Mr Joe loses his shoes and his clothes as he embraces change and adventure…
In the landscapes contained in these stories, you may find instances of tender humanity to nurture, take shelter in, and pass on to anyone who may need it, always in the hope that simple light will prevail.

‘Our imagination is where our strength to resist lies’
