Green
A heartwarming winter story, exploring big emotions – from the award-winning author of The Night Box.
Ed is at his happiest when winter comes and Green turns to White. White means snow and playing on his fast, sleek, shiny sled.
But one day, some other sleds whizz by – faster, sleeker, shinier – making Ed's sled seem old and dull and slow.
There is only one thing to do… Ed must build a new sled, so spectacular, it will stop everyone in their tracks.
But while he is busy working, competing to be the best, things around Ed are changing. White is disappearing and Green is returning…
Perfect for fans of Abi Elphinstone’s The Snow Dragon, Benji Davies’ The Snowflake and Lu Fraser’s The Littlest Yak.
A lyrical and reassuring introduction to the big emotion of envy – and companion title to the Greenaway-nominated Sweep.
Hannah Peck has been shortlisted for The Alligator’s Mouth Award 2022 and the V&A Illustration Awards 2022.

A boy builds a sledge and wants to make it really good. By the time it's ready the snow has gone and they use bicycles instead.
Wasn't sure what this meant, don't spend to long preparing things? Nothing stays the same?
