Have you heard of the bird that turned to stone? Or of the extra-specially-super-deliciously-fantastically naughty boy who got a frog stuck in his throat?

Has anyone ever told you of the Captain of the Nile who only has six toes?

No? Well, tuck yourself in, and let Onjali Raúf entertain you with her first collection of never-before-told fables of magic and mayhem...

Beautifully illustrated by Katarzyna Doszla in full colour.

From the sand-laden shores of Egypt, where an Axe married a Tree... To the mountains of Japan where dragons and hungry mirrors roam ... To the ancient trees of the Amazon where a bed destined to steal time is forged ... Discover new tales of magic, wonder and imagination, inspired by old sayings, everyday objects and countries of the world.

Written with Onjali's trademark heart and humour, and inspired by her travels, Where Magic Grows is a compilation of seven original fairy tales where friendship, kindness - and poetry awaits.

Onjali Q Raúf's first book, The Boy at the Back of the Class, was Winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize in 2019, the Blue Peter Book Prize 2019 and has recieved many other accolades. Raúf's second book, The Star Outside My Window, went on to win the Diversity Book Award for Children's Fiction (UK) 2020. Her further fiction titles include: The Night Bus Hero, The Lion Above the Door, The Letter with the Golden Stamp and The Game I Will Never Forget as well as the fairy tale collection Where Magic Grows, the non-fiction title Hope on the Horizon, and the picture book The Girl at the Front of the Class. In 2022, Raúf was recognised for her services to Literature and Women's Rights in the New Year Honours.
