Description
Book SynopsisDo you know your neighbours? But do you really know them? In this delightfully subversive, comic contemporary fable, written for children and adults alike, you will be reminded that everyone you know - even your most boring or annoying neighbour - might be leading a life full of magic and wonder…
Renata may not seem like your average hero. She’s an angry neighbour who complains about the people around her, steals food that has been left out for the birds, and yells if she ever hears music. But there is much more to her… what are the seagulls trying to tell her? And what does the accordionist’s mysterious song really mean?
In order to find out the answers to these questions, Renata needs to learn about herself, and overcome her past mistakes. Everyone has secrets and problems. How do we overcome them and build a better life for us and those around us? Renata needs to work that out - and she’s going to take you along on her magical journey of self-discovery…
This is a story of true love amid the seagulls!
Trade ReviewDirect and refreshingly ironic, this is an unusual book for both children and adults alike, about love, friendship, memory, and the joy of finding one’s place in the world. This is a delightfully strange picturebook and a rare thing; a contemporary fable with heart and humour, accessible to both children and adult readers.
