Howl

When big feelings come, do you ever feel like howling at the moon? Maggie does. Howl is an empowering story of a young girl's self-expression.

 

Maggie has had a very bad day.

 

First of all, the sun was the wrong shape, in a sky that was too blue. The spaghetti was too long, and her pyjamas were the wrong kind of pyjama.

 

Then Maggie begins to have wolfish thoughts ...

 

 

IN THE MEDIA

 

"This whimsical fable about feelings uses humour and wild imagination to push the boundaries of bad temper towards a catharsis … Evie Barrow’s hand-drawn pencil illustrations pulse with detail and angry-faced Maggie, with her canine fangs, is a petulant delight." —Sara Keating , The Irish Times
