Once upon a time, there was an island controlled by a mighty
monster. This monster was much bigger, meaner and hungrier than
any of the other islanders. It always wanted more, more, MORE of
the best, newest and shiniest things, putting the islanders to
work to satisfy its greed. But the more the monster has, the more
it wants until one day, a little islander decides that enough
is enough and she sets out to discover just why the monster
always wants more.
What secrets will the little islander discover?
Will the monster learn to share, and appreciate a simpler life?
Hayley Wells' debut picture book is a modern fairy tale with a
moral message. Do we all need to keep producing and consuming
more and more in order to be happy or should we all be a
little less greedy?
