Description

In this luminous coming-of-age debut, Wioletta Greg and Eliza Marciniak trace how an ordinary adult world can quietly intrude upon a child’s extraordinary inner life. Through vivid, textured prose—rich with colour, sound, and small, unforgettable moments—the book follows a tender journey shaped by bees, memory, and the ache of loss as her father passes. Part gentle fable and part intimate portrait, it moves with unforced charm while carrying a deep, honest sadness. At its heart are themes of grief, wonder, and the fragile ways we learn to swallow change and keep going.
