Synopsis

Dealing with bereavement, bullying, and a father-son connection, Silverwing explores the healing power of nature and art. After he lost his mother to cancer, 10-year-old Douglas hasn't been able to communicate with his father, and their house is a place of sadness. When they find an injured Greylag goose, they nurse the bird, and themselves, back to health. As they work together and start talking again, they discover much more about Douglas' mother than they ever knew before. Includes illustrations througout and a fact file on the Greylag goose.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Kenneth Steven is a successful poet, novelist and children’s writer who has published some 25 books. His BBC Radio 4 documentary on the island of St Kilda won him a Sony Award. His previous novel, The Well of the North Wind (SPCK, 2016), was a spiritual tale set on 6th-century Iona, whilst Beneath the Ice (Saraband, 2016) tells the story of the Arctic Sami people. He grew up in Highland Perthshire in the heart of Scotland, and now lives in Argyll on the country’s west coast; it’s these landscapes that have inspired the lion’s share of both his poetry and prose.
