Talon's New Brother

A short story for children aged 5-12 years.

Being the only purple in a town of blue is lonely. Talon's blue family are always jeering at him for being different. But The Great Berry Bake Off is coming up and Talon is determined to win to show just what a purple can do. Little does he know that his berry-picking will lead him to an even more exciting result.


Sample:

Dipping back into the cave pool, Talon let the gentle darkness take him to his secret place again, to the bubbling, swirling red river. A place that felt rich with new promise, yet strangely familiar. Tiny lanterns swung over the river. He saw a red face in one, someone he knew from other place, another time.
