About this book

When a storm destroys Spark the dragon’s treehouse, he has nowhere to live. 

Kind Bear offers a space in his cave, but it’s a bit dark and damp for a dragon. Busy Beaver offers Spark the latest extension to her lodge, but they need to finish building it and it’s rather noisy and busy. Poor Spark – will he ever find a new home? 

Written by the actor Michael Sheen and author Jess Webb to engage children in the issues around homelessness, this is a charming story with beautiful illustrations. 

The various animal friends show kindness and generosity, but also accept that Spark has his own prerequisites for feeling comfortable. This might start discussions about different kinds of homes (for humans and animals), or could simply be enjoyed as a tale about friendship.  

£1 from every hardback sale goes to the charity Shelter.
