📖 Is it a Seed? By Emily Ann Davison and Adriena Fong

It was a fun challenge to retell this Greek myth from Orpheus’s perspective, and bring the story to younger readers.

#BigCatReadOn is a new collection of 20 chapter books designed to improve reading stamina and comprehension at upper Key Stage 2.

Orpheus is a talented lyre player, spellbound by Eurydice’s beauty. Eurydice is a woodland nymph, entranced by Orpheus’s music. They fall in love and tragedy strikes. Can Orpheus use his skills to travel to the Underworld and return Eurydice to the land of the living?

Woo hoo! So excited to share this with you. I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve written a book for Collins Big Cat Read On!

‘Don’t Look Back’ is a retelling of the Greek Myth ‘Orpheus and Eurydice’, gorgeously illustrated by Sunnu Rebecca Choi
