Henny Is Stuck
A beautiful and heart warming modern day ugly duckling story.
Striking illustrations create a world that is reminiscent of a Beatrix Potter tale. A charming blend of child-like drawings with a sophisticated execution, they dance across the page in full technicolour on a white background. Crossley has depicted an enchanting bucolic countryside, full of toadstools and beautiful trees which brush softly across the pages, adding to a tale full of whimsy. The language used is accessible and understandable for a young audience, however the illustrations are so engaging that a young child could be happily engrossed in telling their own version of the story without relying on the words.
The story itself carries a clear message of the power of self-belief, with the final page of the book containing a sweet message from Henny for her young readers encouraging them to celebrate who they are because, ‘No one can do you, better than you’.” Childrens Books Ireland
