Description
This is the story of Kurios, a very young catlike creature, who wakes up one morning and finds himself in the wrong world. In this strange world, Kurios has become a giant. He is so tall that he can almost see over the treetops! Kurios is lost. He feels frightened, alienated and very little inside himself - until he meets a tiny but wise old being who agrees to help him find his way home. Join with Kurios in this exciting adventure, for children and adults alike!
Children. Buzzwords: imagination, fantasy, other worlds, cat, adventure, giant, creatures, discovery.
About the Author
Elizabeth Moya (aka Liz Lumley-Smith) is a mixed media artist, illustrator and art psychotherapist. This is her first book for children and the young at heart. The original idea for Kurios came to her over 40 years ago. It was after a turbulent period in her life, in which she too had felt alienated from her familiar world. Living in a new place in England, she was thinking about what to do next when the storyline and pictures for `Curiosity' - as he was then known - began to take shape. Two years ago, after putting aside `Curiosity' for so long, Liz returned to the book and renamed the catlike creature at the centre of this story `Kurios'. She now lives in Bristol with a cat who likes to get involved by relaxing on top of her artwork.
