What is Here Be Monsters about?
A mysterious creature rises from the sea and is chased to the edge of the world by sailors who call her a monster. Alone and afraid, she sings of loss, shame and not belonging. Then she spots a magnificent dragon soaring through the sky and begins to understand the truth about herself. With courage, she spreads her wings and discovers her real identity, her mother and the place where she truly belongs. A lyrical tale about difference, identity and finding home.
