Brambleheart—A
Beautiful New Picture Book with an Important Message
From the
beloved illustrator and author of A Nest for Celeste comes
Brambleheart, a beautiful tale about nature, imagination, and how love is
the greatest thing we build. With stunning black-and-white artwork and a
gorgeous package, Henry Cole's animal fantasy adventure harkens back to Brian
Jacques's Redwall and Avi's Poppy series.
In the Hill, animals work as
Weavers, Smelters, and Carvers—but Twig doesn't know who he wants to be. He
tries very hard in all his classes, but his imagination wanders to his favorite
books or the delicious mayapples growing beyond the scavenge yard ... and then
he loses his focus. After Twig makes a big mistake in front of everyone, he sets
out on a secret journey to discover himself. But as he wanders deeper into the
Yard than he's ever wandered before, Twig finds a curious colored globe. A
dragon's egg—which hatches in front of his eyes.
Now protecting the baby
dragon is all Twig wants to do. But when he learns that his secret might hurt
others, he's forced to make a choice between his place in the world and the
feelings in his heart.
