Inspired me to plan a session for my Brownies based on the book. There will be chalk drawings, discussions about why people might act like trolls and how we can help.

A sweet story which shows the power of kindness and imagination in the face of difficult emotions, with beautiful illustrations from award-winning artist David Litchfield which really help to tell the story.
The School Librarian
The perseverance of the little boy is wonderful and it shows how kindness can achieve all kinds of things. I really liked how all of the other children also began to play together, all brought together by drawing. The illustrations are gorgeous as well and add to the enjoyment of the story.
