So says… This picture book brings together imagination, craft, storytelling and belonging in the most playful and profound way that will delight readers of all ages. Leilah is a dreamy kid who is always losing her things because she’s so busy looking at the world of her village – and at her grandmother’s embroidery. Having seen the other side of her grandma’s beautiful tatreez, she decides that her lost possessions are in the Other Side, the underside where the wild things are, and off she goes to find them. This is a book of gentle genius for reading together or alone, tracing the patterns that make up our lives.
