Girl on Wire
By Lucy Estela
Illustrated by Elise Hurst
A poignantly beautiful story from the CBCA Shortlisted author of Suri's Wall, Lucy Estela, and Prime Minister's Literary Award shortlisted illustrator of Adelaide's Secret World, Elise Hurst.
Girl on Wire is a simple yet brilliantly uplifting allegory of a young girl struggling to build her self-esteem and overcome the anxiety that many children feel as they grow - she walks the tightrope, afraid she will fall, but with the support of those she loves, her toes grip the wire and she walks forward, on her own, with a new confidence.
