《玻璃之子》讲述了差异，排斥和最终自我接纳的故事，探讨了内在与外在之间的相互作用以及我们为成为自己所必须经历的旅程。

《玻璃之子》的主人公是吉赛尔（Gisele），一个脆弱，坚强，透明的女孩，她谴责会给世界上的生命留下痕迹的不友好行为。《玻璃之子》用稀疏和诗意的，我们所有人，不论年龄大小，都可以理解的语言提醒我们拥有成为自己的与生俱来的权利。自由不是要接受什么；而是要提出问题并采取行动以使我们能够在世界上宾至如归。

A story about difference, exclusion, and ultimately self-acceptance, Child of Glass explores the interplay between inner and outer and the journey we have to go on to become ourselves.

Child of Glass is about Gisele, a fragile, strong, transparent girl who denounces the meanness that can mark life in the world. In sparse, poetic language that all of us, however young or old, can understand, Child of Glass reminds us of our birthright to become ourselves. Freedom isn’t about accepting what is; it’s about asking the questions and taking the actions that allow us to be at home in the world.

Beautifully illustrated in a painterly, drawn, and collaged style, this is a story of layers, textures, and transparencies in every sense. It is also a book that explores the possibilities of form to render idea, thereby providing connective tissue between the world of the book and life in the world.

“To draw is to tell. Everyone who feels emotion has something to tell. Emotions keep on changing, growing, as children do. My drawings and stories change with them.” So says Beatrice Alemagna, who was born in Bologna, Italy, in 1973. Alemagna has written and illustrated dozens of children’s books, which have received numerous awards all over the world and have been translated into fourteen languages. She has also had solo exhibitions in France, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Sweden, and Japan. Alemagna’s The Wonderful Fluffy Little Squishy is also published by Enchanted Lion.
