About the Book

This is a story about trust between parents and children and the importance of being true to oneself. Young Reedee, born with shimmering brown hair the colour of Mother Earth, is different from the other people in her village, and it isn’t just her hair that sets her apart. At night, while the village sleeps, Reedee disappears into the forest. At first her parents worry, but they soon discover their daughter has a path she must follow on her own.

Also available in hardcover.
