A timely and relatable tale about the importance of connecting to
the introvert inside. Marjorie is a happy snail. She loves her
family and friends, but sometimes she just needs a bit of alone
time. At these moments, Marjorie wanders off to try to find a quiet
space, but her friends and family just follow her trail of slime
and find her. ‘How can I find some space for myself?’ wonders
Marjorie, and as she wonders, she wanders, here and there, back and
forth, this way and that until she is entirely and marvellously
lost. But the joys of solitude are short lived, and Marjorie
swiftly realises that she can’t find her way back. Luckily, she
stumbles on a good friend who helps her on her way and offers her
some sage advice. A natural follow on from the critically acclaimed
‘Pocket Chaotic’, this simple, layered story is exquisitely
brought to life by Christos Kourtoglou, an emerging Greek
illustrator with a distinctive watercolour style. It addresses the
disjunction that kids and adults feel (particularly in a
post-lockdown era) between our introvert and extrovert selves.
