Rosie Runs away Macdonald, Maryann and Sweet, Melissa

**Rosie Runs Away** - because sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, right? This delightful children's picture book follows spirited Rosie as she decides home isn't quite cutting it anymore and sets off on her own grand adventure. What starts as a determined escape quickly becomes a journey of self-discovery, exploring themes of independence, family bonds, and the comfort of belonging.

Perfect for kids aged 4-8 who dream of their own great escapes (and parents who remember those feelings!). Maryann Macdonald's storytelling pairs beautifully with Melissa Sweet's charming illustrations, creating a story that's both relatable and reassuring. This gentle tale tackles childhood emotions without being preachy - because nobody needs another lecture about appreciating what you have.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks has plenty of love left to give new readers.
