“….gently teaches children that no matter how bad things may seem, there’s always some “beauty and grace” that can emerge from the darkness… A bright and hopeful book that’s every bit as magnificent as the natural world it celebrates.” Picturebooksnob.com
Read the full review…

A striking and unique story perfect for little people interested in climate awareness and looking after nature.

McDarkly lives quietly all on his own, growing orchids in his dank swamp until one day his peace is disturbed by an arrogant king who wants to turn the swamp into a roller-skate park. McDarkly has ten days to prove that the swamp isn’t damp and dark, but an enchanted world. Can he do it, or will he risk losing his home forever?
