Bo and the Grumblion

For all those who sometimes feel the urge to burrow away and hide… A luminous and hopeful picture book.

 

Life is sweet and joyful for Bo and Lili at the top of the great beech tree. Until the Great Storm comes and turns everything upside down. Bo decides to leave the now unwelcoming treetop and burrow into a den. There, he finally feels sheltered — from the world and from the noise. But Lili and their friends don't understand. Since when do birds live underground? And who is this Grumblion that seems to be taking up more and more space inside Bo's head?
