Buy from Bookshop.orgGina Kaminski is back in this empowering retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk that challenges the traditional narratives we are told, with a confident, autistic character at its heart.
Meet Gina Kaminski. She’s here to tell you three facts.
1. The story of Jack and the Beanstalk is FULL of BIG mistakes.
2. She has a plan to fix them.
3. Her plan does NOT involve magic beans (but there will be cake).
Gina is off to fairy tale land again, and this time she’s rescuing the giant! Just like the first book in this bold new series by Craig Barr-Green and Francis Martin, this is not your typical fairy tale as Gina takes the narrative lead and tells the story in her own distinctive way. With lovable narrator Gina Kaminski, this is the ideal book to empower every child to be the hero of their own story. Fans of fractured fairy tales like Little Red by Bethan Woollvin, and strong, character-led stories like Luna Loves Dance by Joseph Coelho and Fiona Lumbers and Look Up! by Nathan Bryon and Dapo Adeola will love Gina Kaminski Rescues the Giant.
"If I were a giant (which I'm very clearly not), I would want to be rescued by Gina Kaminski! Absolutely love this new picture book adventure from the combined talents of Craig Barr-Green and Francis Martin. So fresh, fun and original - and quietly radical. Brilliant stuff!"
"Gina Kaminski is back righting an injustice in a GIANT and BRILLIANT new adventure."
"Gina Kaminiski Rescues the Giant is a smart delight and the illustrations are beautiful and really bring everything together. As a teacher and educator understanding the importance of visual emotions, it is a book I would read to children and recommend to teachers and parents . . . I would recommend this to all ages in primary schools from EYFS - KS1. Older SEN children would also benefit highly from this book. Outstanding!"
