Cass and the Beast cover

When a fearful beast arrives in the township, Cass finds her courage and is rewarded with a wild and magical journey.

A mysterious creature takes Cass, a young girl, on a thundering ride through a forested landscape, leaving her town and people far behind. In the wilderness that is home to the beast, Cass finds adventure, ferocity, and gentleness. And the beast finds its name.

Atmospheric illustrations complement an original narrative voice in this collaboration between an author and illustrator from opposite sides of the world.

"This is not a story that asks the wild to become tame. It asks us to look more carefully before we decide what we are seeing. . . . a picturebook that never rushes to explain itself because it believes young readers are capable of wondering."—Mat Tobin


"A sweet tale about getting to know the unknown."—Betsy Bird
