A modern fairy tale of a brave child who must save her village, illustrated with incredible paper-cut kirigami scenes.

Anya lives in a paper village, among delicate paper trees and paper houses, where the people are paper-light. When dangerous winds blow through the village of Paperlee, Anya crafts a kirigami paper bridge to cross the chasm to meet the strangers who live there and discover how to save her home.

Explore a real paper world – of 3D houses, folded foliage and cut-out characters – created using the art of kirigami (paper cutting and folding) in a moving story about friendship, bravery and climate change.

Format: Hardcover
