Publisher Pitch
A girl loses all eleven of her brothers when their stepmother transforms them into swans. To break the enchantment, she gathers nettles with her bare hands and knits each brother a shirt. She must remain silent throughout the task, even as others fill that silence with their own stories. Jackie Morris expands Hans Christian Andersen's tale into an illustrated story of courage, listening and steadfast love.
