Ogre cover

An aspirational story about the power of standing up for yourself

The ogres were brutish and loutish and loud.
Bullish and boorish, parading and proud.
Destroying the swamplands with black hobnail boots.
Glaring and tearing up trees from their roots.

But one of the ogres stood out from the crowd.
His boots not so heavy. His voice, not so loud.

Ogre is different, and longs for something more than just anger and destruction. So, when a chance encounter with a protective mama bird prompts a huge reaction, things immediately change. Will he stay true to his path? And what will happen to the rest of the ogres?

Aspirational and moving, this title is the third book in the Stories from the Swamp series. With a powerful environmental theme, this picture book will make young readers question everything they are capable of.
