Det här är en bön för en blåbärstös.. En efterlängtad baby växer upp och blir till ung kvinna – full av liv, äventyrslust och upptäckarglädje och omgiven av alla världens underverk. Vad alla blivande eller nyblivna föräldrar drömmar om åt sitt barn, och vad alla flickor drömmer åt sig själva.

Neil Gaiman skrev Blåbärsflicka till en vän som skulle bli mor. Han och tecknaren Charles Vess har gjort en förtjusande bok med sagoskimmer, där goda féer och skogens och havets djur ledsagar blåbärsflickan på hennes väg.

En hyllning till en ny människas liv: en perfekt gåva för alla flickebarn som börjar livets resa, för deras föräldrar och för alla som älskar dem.
