'A giant stands on the shore, watching the sea. She never moves, never speaks, until the day she turns to a little girl and says, 'The sea is rising.'
'The brave girl takes the message to the town. But when the people refuse to listen, the giant must find another way to save them.
'Perfect for the children of the Climate Strike, this is a lyrical and deeply moving story about climate change, standing up for what you believe in, and the power of hope.'

In May 2020, Books + Publishing reported that Like a Photon Creative had acquired the film rights to The Giant and the Sea.
