Western Europe

From centuries-old streets and mountain villages to busy cities, seaside towns, and quiet neighborhoods, Western Europe is a place where history and modern life live side by side.

The girls in this collection are inspired by the many cultures and communities of Western Europe—but their stories belong to childhood: jumping until they can almost touch the sky, making music, getting lost in books, creating things, exploring their world, and dreaming about who they might become.

They are curious and complicated, shy and fearless, thoughtful and gloriously silly. Some already know exactly where they're going. Others are still discovering what makes their hearts light up.

Each girl is a fictional character inspired by the spirit of childhood and the places represented in this collection—not a depiction of any specific person, culture, or lived experience.

Because no matter where a girl calls home, her world is bigger than the map beneath her feet.
