About This Book

A collection of short fairy tales reframes familiar motifs to address poverty and class inequality for young readers. Each tale uses personified plants, animals, and a lonely child to dramatize struggles and small acts of courage: a rose-bush that defends itself, a sparrow who seeks a better land, a faithful grey dog that sacrifices for the child who rescued it, and an unlikely beast whose kindness contrasts with a selfish owner. Through simple narratives the stories encourage questioning social wrongs, mutual aid, and collective action as ways to improve the lives of working families.
