The King of Tiny Things

Description

An enchanting story of moonlight and magic to chase away fears of the dark from award-winning talent Jeanne Willis. When two little girls visit their grandparents, it seems like a brilliant idea to camp outside for the night. But then the dark comes and it doesn't seem such a good idea after all! Until a most unexpected visitor arrives - the King of Tiny Things. He is the shepherd of creepy crawlies, bugs and grubs and shows the girls that, in fact, the night is bright with magic. From the creators of The Bog Baby, winner of the Booktrust Early Years Award 2008.
