AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Once upon a time a boy was born.
He laughed. He kicked.
He grew.
He wondered, and had many dreams.

When a boy leaves home, he meets a peddler of dreams, the like of which dreams the boy could never have imagined. But these gleaming dreams come at a terrible cost.

The cost of truth. The cost of his family. The cost of his self identity.

Only the healing power of regret, determination and unconditional love can reverse the nightmare.'

Notes

  • "Inspired by a mother’s anguish over her son’s ice addiction, this powerful picture-book is told in fable form, revealing the universal struggles with which we all grapple, from childhood to grave. Falsehoods, false dreams and beguiling advertisements, toxic relationships and, of course, the lure of addiction." (Publisher's website)
