About this eBook
As the voices in his life crowd in on him, Thomas looks for another way.
Powerful illustrations and a spare text make a parable of Thomas's journey, which reflects the courage we all need to find our passion and be ourselves.
A masterful and compelling story.
'A gut-wrenching but deeply moving masterpiece from the hearts and minds of a brilliant artistic and literary partnership.' - Maurice Saxby, Magpies
