The Naming of Tishkin Silk
by Glenda Millard (Author) Caroline Magerl (Illustrator) Patrice Barton (Illustrator)
Griffin Silk is an uncommon sort of boy, from an uncommon sort of family. The warm, loving home he shares with his father, grandmother and five big sisters (The Rainbow Girls) is marked by the aching absence of his mother and baby sister. Where have they gone and will they be coming home again? When Griffin starts school and meets Princess Layla the answers to his questions gently start to unfold.
This unique, tender novel will captivate young readers and adults alike, with its warmth, honesty and beauty.
