Whisper is the smallest, quietest dragon on the mountainside, but he’s one of the smartest when it comes to recognising the damage his family are causing to their home. His voice needs to be heard but his family are too big (and too busy setting fire to things) to pay attention.
Fortunately, Whisper has good friends and by joining their voices together and via a carefully timed use of art, he successfully gets his message across to the grown-ups. Young readers will feel empowered to make their own voices heard by this engaging and effective story which delivers vital messages about the importance of listening to the next generation and the value of art too.
Whisper and his friends are an irresistible and gorgeously identifiable set of campaigners, and their mountainside home is very appealing too in Rose Robbins’ illustrations. A great book to share.
A picture book about making oneself heard, and taking care of our environment.

Whisper is a quiet dragon who notices everything. When he sees that his family's fires are damaging their forest neighbourhood, he knows he must persuade them to change their ways. But nobody will listen to him. How will he get his message across? It will take all Whisper's resourcefulness and courage, and some help from his friends, to save the mountainside in time.
