Angela Barrett Books

Nominated for Favourite Books of 2018 by: Sophie Anderson (@sophieinspace), children’s author of The House With Chicken Legs (available here)

I love fairytale reimaginings and The Restless Girls is one of the best I’ve ever read. Beautifully written and gorgeously illustrated, the story smashes all the stereotypes in the original tale and sings of resistance, perseverance, strength and freedom. Perfect for sisters and brothers, boys and girls, young and old…I adore it!
