"An introspective young boy, Joseph Coppock is trying to make sense of the world. Living alone in an old house, he spends his time reading comic books, collecting birds' eggs, and playing with marbles. When one day a rag-and-bone man called Treacle Walker appears on a horse and cart, offering a cure-all medicine, a mysterious friendship develops and the young boy is introduced to a world beyond his wildest imagination. Luminous, evocative, and sparely told, Treacle Walker is a stunning fusion of myth, folklore, and the stories we tell ourselves."--.

Long-haired girl

a story in English and Chinese
"A long time ago, in a village nestled beneath a mountain, there lived a beautiful girl with long shiny black hair whom the villagers called 'Long Hair.' One year, there was a severe drought in the mountain. All lives were dying from thirst. Meanwhile, the mother of Long Hair became seriously ill because she could not get drinking water. Like everyone else in the village, Long Hair climbed over the steep mountain to get water from a very small lake far away. One day on her way from her, she found a spring where clean and sweet water kept running. However, it turned out that this spring was controlled by the mountain monster, who threatened Long Hair not to reveal the secret to any villagers or else she would be punished"--Amazon.

"This is the story of Gary Grey Moth who desperately wants to be seen and Florence Butterfly who has had enough of being noticed. What would happen if they swapped cardigans and could each be the bug they always wanted to be? This fast-paced and perceptive story is about expectations and identity, told from the unlikely but utterly relatable perspectives of a moth and a butterfly. They're not so different, if you really think about it"--.
