Under The Lilacs

Under the Lilacs is a lush and playful treatment of the innocent indignation children feel that motivates them to 'run away' from home. Kate feels ignored by her mother and sister, so escapes to a neighbouring back yard where she builds a fort and savours her independence... until she finds herself making room for her family in her new home. A beautiful celebration of nature, hands-on adventure and striking out alone, this book will resonate with all who have craved independence, and may need to learn that there is still room for everyone.
