Behind the Book
Written by a mother and son.
When I Grow Wings began as something Georgia and her son Vasilis created together. What emerged was a story for children finding their own way through a world that can be very quick to tell them where they should be and when they should get there.
Dedicated to Georgia’s children, who shine in their own remarkable ways, and to all the little caterpillars following their own perfect pace and carving their unique paths in this world.
