Description:

Everybody knows a big, fierce troll lives in the cave at the edge of the playground. "Leave me alone!" he yells — so everyone does. Everyone except one kind little boy, who simply can't turn his back. One day he carries his box of chalks up to the cave mouth and draws a flower, leaving a single petal uncoloured and one piece of chalk behind. The next morning, the petal has been finished… and so begins a wordless, day-by-day friendship, drawn one picture at a time, until the boy gently helps the "troll" see that he was a lonely boy all along. Tender and quietly powerful, this gorgeous picture book celebrates empathy, patience, and the healing magic of making art together — beautifully embodying the spirit of art therapy, and sure to send little ones reaching for their own chalks.
