In the spirit of International Women’s Day, I have decided to devote this week’s blog post to fairytales and folktales that celebrate female agency. Conventional fairytales do not typic…
Journey into a land of magic and powerful girls in this feminist retelling of Indonesian folktales, lushly reimagined by a debut graphic novelist. Once upon a time. . . A princess was cursed to live as a snail, Two sisters were trapped by their father’s wrath, And a mother and daughter faced a hungry giant. No one is coming to save them. Will they get their happily ever after? In this collection of reimagined Indonesian fairy tales, the girls are the ones with power. The power to fight evil, to protect others, and to grow as people. Because why should girls in folktales always need saving? What if they save themselves instead? Based on graphic novelist Clar Angkasa’s favorite childhood stories and gorgeously illustrated with a dedicated color palette for each tale, this retelling of “Keong Mas,” “Bawang Merah Bawang Putih,” and “Timun Mas” is filled with spectacular landscapes, deep emotions, and a firm belief in the power of girls’ stories. A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection | Author: Clar Angkasa | Publisher: Holiday House | Publication Date: Oct 31, 2023 | Number of Pages: 176 pages | Language: English | Binding: Hardcover | ISBN-10: 0823449785 | ISBN-13: 9780823449781
