There are two sides to every story — sometimes seven! In this new spin on the classic story “Snow White,” the dwarves explain, from their point of view, how a sweet-natured but very forgetful, dizzy girl stumbles upon their cottage and turns their lives upside-down. “Seriously, Snow White Was SO Forgetful!” is a funny new take on a beloved fairy tale.

From The Other Side of the Story series. For ages 4-8.

* Dual purpose title: can be enjoyed purely for the story or used to explore the concept of “point of view”
* Hits key points of the classic fairy tale while adding its own humor and clever twists
* Light-hearted full-color art engages readers
* Appealing for boys and girls
* Encourages discussion: whose side of the story do you believe and why?

About the Illustrator:
Born in Nantes, France, Gerald grew up in nine different cities around the land of cheese, wearing as many shoes as his shoesellers parents sold. Having to adapt to a new school in every city, he developed his observation and drawing skills to make new friends, inspired by the landscapes as well as the many different and bizarre people he met along the road. Gerald's creativity blossomed at a webdesign company, an event studio, a video-games studio, and then several animations studios. Aside from illustration, Gerald has many other interests, including managing the French Comics Artists association "Rendez-Vous," or co-leading with the Japanese artist Daisuke Tsutsumi the artistic and charity project "Sketchtravel," a real sketchbook shared by 70 illustrators from all around the world.
