The Sunflower Sword

Author: Mark SperringIllustrator: Miriam Latimer

In a land of fire and smoke where dragons and knights are endlessly fighting, a little boy asks his mum for a sword to ‘whoosh and swoosh’. She gives him a sunflower instead, with which he successfully slays three imaginary dragons, but what will happen when a real dragon comes along? A lovely story about how one small action makes a big difference and changes the world for the better. Lively, colourful illustrations with some real elements of humour, especially the little boy’s colander helmet. This picture book will be great for sharing with young children and should encourage lots of participation and dramatic retellings.
