The Little Girl in a Box
The Little Girl in a Box is one of our book haul from Adarna House’s mid-year sale promo in 2020. It got me curious to find out who is the little girl in a box. “Is it like Thumbelina?”, I thought.

An ordinary cardboard box was the constant companion of the little girl to different places and families. It became her shelter that gave her comfort when she was in “that wasn’t nice at all” situations. They journeyed together until one day they reached the house that became the little girl’s real home.
Nea’s Review
The story is deep and touching.
What I liked best is when the little girl finally got a home to stay.
For kids like me, I recommend reading it together with your Mommy or Daddy so you can immediately kiss and hug them after reading the book. I assure you, you’ll appreciate them and your home even more.
We also like the dream-like illustration style as it perfectly matched the storyline.
