AS SEEN ON MILKSHAKE'S STORY DEN IN MARCH 2025!Everybody knew that a big fierce troll lived in the cave. Only one child cannot turn their back on the troll. One day, he draws a flower with every petal coloured in but one, and leaves the chalk outside the cave. The next day, the flower has been completed. Day-by-day, the boy and the troll finish each other's drawings, until they one shows a boy holding hands with a fierce, scary troll. \"But you're not a troll,\" says the boy. \"You're a boy - just like me.\"  Patience, kindness and the power of art win out in the end: the two boys wordlessly draw together. Soon everyone joins in and forgets that there was ever a troll inside the cave. This touching story delicately embodies the philosophy of art therapy, in the face of isolation and difficult emotions. From the creative duo behind A Shelter for Sadness, award-winning artist David Litchfield's illustrations are a joyful celebration of pavement art, which is sure to have little ones reaching for their own chalks.","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45247128043703,"sku":"9781800783065","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/files\/9781800783065.jpg?v=1757147195","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781800783065","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
