The Promise

The Promise

An allegorical tale of hope takes on new life in this stirring, gorgeously illustrated story.

On a mean street in a mean, broken city, a young girl tries to snatch an old womanâ€™s bag. But the frail old woman, holding on with the strength of heroes, says the thief canâ€™t have it without giving something in return: the promise. It is the beginning of a journey that will change the thieving girlâ€™s life â€” and a chance to change the world, for good. Here is the story of a magical discovery that will touch the heart and imagination of every reader, young and old. In an exciting collaboration, author Nicola Davies joins forces with illustrator Laura Carlin to create a contemporary tale inspired by Jean Gionoâ€™s 1953 story, Lâ€™homme qui plantait des arbres.
