What happens when a boy is brave enough to stand up for what he feels is right?

Greedy Greenbackboy’s got an idea for a game. He wants Snowboy to help him cut down all the trees in the forest and catch all the fish in the deep and ever-moving ocean. But Snowboy recognizes the importance of life in the natural world around him and, in this evocatively told tale, has to trust his instinct to protect, rather than destroy…

From the illustrator of Oliver and Frances Dean Who Loved to Dance and Dance, and highly acclaimed author, Hiawyn Oram, comes a poignant eco-conscious story, and a vivid portrayal of a child's imaginative play.

• An original and unique story: pigs and polar bears accompany Snowboy’s journey in a unique and absorbing world 
• Birgitta Sif is an acclaimed illustrator: Oliver was shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway medal, and both Oliver and Frances Dean were endorsed by Amnesty International UK 
• Birgitta has brought humour, warmth and innocence to a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and the need to protect the world around us
