description: After inadvertently destroying his home a well-meaning giant must learn the true value of the natural world.In the middle of a vast forest lives a giant who spends his days hurling and heaving smashing and bashing. Over time the animals flee as their homes vanish the birdsong dwindles away to silence and finally the forest itself disappears. Now the lonely giant misses the crackling warmth of a fire and the sweet songs of the yellow bird -- but will he realize it's up to him to restore what he loves? Sophie Ambrose debuts with a beautifully illustrated modern fable offering a poignant environmental twist.
