Synopsis:

Gisèle, the protagonist of this picture book, is so transparent that everyone can see her thoughts, moods and emotions. First considered a ‘phenomenon’ to be known, then marginalised, Gisèle is forced to wander the world in search of a home.
The Glass Girl, writes the author, is not ‘about how powerful the truth is, but about self-confidence and courage’. Qualities that no one should ever lose.
