About the story:
Little Beauty is a sophisticated multi-level and multi-dimensional exploration into the depths of friendship, inner and aesthetic beauty and the complexities of communication. Based on a true story of a gorilla who has learnt how to use the ASL (American Sign Language), and inspired by the traditional tale of Beauty and the Beast, Little Beauty takes its readers on an artistic journey of self-discovery and self-expression. Browne expertly uses colour to express emotions as he explores the challenges of expressing yourself when you don’t speak the same language as the people around you. He ultimately illustrates how communication can transcend barriers and how friendship always overcomes.
