A beautifully written eco-fantasy adventure for readers aged 9+.
Three tiny ancient beings — Moss, Burnet and Cumulus — awaken from their winter hibernation to find their beloved ash tree home destroyed. Once revered as Guardians of the Wild World, the trio set off on a courageous journey to find the last of their kind. Their adventure takes them from quiet hedgerows and deep countryside to the heart of a bustling city, meeting helpful birds and animals as they try to survive in a world that’s changing fast.
This tender, atmospheric story explores nature, loss, friendship and resilience. Perfect for young readers who love folklore, environmental themes and richly imagined worlds. A wonderful read-aloud, and a beautiful way to nurture children’s connection to the natural world.
