About the author

Frances Stickley grew up in Nottingham and Norwich, where she spent much of her time making up poems and dressing up her dog. She is a trained children’s literacy specialist and a primary school teacher who is happiest when she is covered in paint or stuck in a book. In 2017, Frances was the winner of the Bloomsbury and National Literacy Trust short story prize. She lives with her family and a big-eared dog called Babbage. When she is not writing, you’ll probably find her in a forest playing dragons with her daughters.

Retelling of the troll's story (3 billy goats guff) with a twist. Author's intention isn't subtle but there are beautiful illustrations and a pertinent message for the trolls of our world. I'm keen to read it with my classes.

Una historia maravillosa, me tuvo al borde de las lágrimas 🥺 A veces, solo se necesita un poco de amabilidad para despertar el amor de las personas, y el amor propio también.
