Andi hasn't seen her brother for eight years and when he steps off the plane from the Philippines, she cannot believe her eyes. He's tall. EIGHT FOOT TALL.

 

But Bernardo is not what he seems. Bernardo is a hero, Bernardo works miracles, and Bernardo has an amazing story to tell.

TALL STORY has won the inaugural Crystal Kite Award for Europe voted by members of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. THANK YOU, SCBWI!
