Two sisters live on the edge of a great rainforest. When soldiers destroy the forest, the sisters must try to find a new way of life. But strange things are in store for them . . . Inspired by an old Indian folktale, this is a lyrical fable of metamorphosis and the connections between human beings and nature. The atmospheric art in this handsome book is set off against colored handmade inserts. The text is letter-pressed on tea-stained paper.
