Description
Bridie's story is one of courage and defiance. In Victorian London, she works hard to feed her family by selling matches on the streets. After an incident leaves her with only three matches left, Bridie discovers a brighter future in visions that come to her through each strike.
With newfound determination, Bridie leads the match factory workers out on strike, achieving remarkable change through their unity and courage. This powerful retelling of a story introduces a bold new heroine who embodies the strength and resilience needed for real change.
Elegantly illustrated with vibrant spot colours, this book is a timely read that might prompt discussion about community, kindness, and the power of collective action. A masterful interweaving of fairytale and fact brings social action and strong women to the forefront.
