Part fable, part metaphor, Little Girl Gazelle is an extraordinarily beautiful picture book focused on discrimination and equality and presenting parents' subtle efforts to ready their gazelle child to grow up in "a world of lions." The little girl gazelle leaps from page to page, asking hard questions about what is fair and right. But she's sleek and fleet, and the poetic language lifts her up, up, higher and faster as she whirls through the bold eloquence of the book's illustrations, making colourful tracks, leaving her mark, and finding her way as she skims and dances over the unjust world.
