Raven Girl by Audrey Niffenegger, 80 pagesOnce upon a time there was a postman who fell in love with a raven. Their only child is the subject of this fairy tale, which explores identity, social norms, and the ethics of medical science in an approachable, visual way. Niffenegger's story is simple, and her artwork is quirky and lovely. A great new fairy tale for modern times.
An extra tidbit: Niffenegger wrote this story as the basis for a new ballet. I'd love to see how this story translates into dance.
