Child Psychology Book Lady

I came across this book in a tiny English language section of our local library in Lisbon. It tells the story of a girl made of glass, using metaphors to explore themes of identity, exclusion, belonging, and self-acceptance. The girl, who is exposed to prologued and intrusive nosiness of others, suffers from feelings of fearfulness, anxiety, and shame. She decides to flee her home village in the hope of finding a more accepting community, but soon discovers that everywhere she goes is the same and so returns home, resolved and accepting of who she is. It is a book that beautifully validates the experience of children with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or sensitive temperaments. Suitable for children aged 4 and older.
