The Paper Bridge Book

In The Paper Bridge, Anya lives in a village made entirely of paper—paper trees, paper houses, and paper-light people. Every late summer, the villagers of Paperlee fill their pockets with stones to keep from being swept away by the strong winds. This modern fairy tale, brought to life through Seng Soun Ratanavanh’s intricate kirigami illustrations, captures a delicate, magical world crafted from real paper scenes. Written by debut author Joëlle Veyrenc, this story weaves themes of climate change, acceptance, and the courage to face the unknown into a poignant journey about living together in harmony.
