The Girl With the Parrot on Her Head

Author and illustrator: Daisy Hirst

When Isabel’s friend Simon moves away, she finds a system to deal with her feelings and life, categorising the things around her in boxes. Not everything is easy to box though. A surreal story about coming to terms with change, told with great imagination and through illustrations oozing appeal.
