The Tale of Florence and the King
Description
A heart-warming, magical adventure for young readers, following Florence, a timid black-and-white Border Collie who discovers her own courage in the most unexpected way. Frightened of loud noises, storms, and even tall trees, Florence prefers the safety of home-until a walk through Tintock Wood changes everything.
When Florence hears someone crying deep among the trees, she bravely investigates and discovers Aurorla, a shimmering Arctic unicorn with a magical purple horn and a rainbow-coloured mane. After helping free the unicorn, Florence and her human mummy, Debra, are invited to join Aurorla on a once-in-a-lifetime mission: to help the King fulfil his secret dream of reaching the summit of Mount Everest.
Shrinking to the size of ants, soaring across countries, and journeying to the top of the world, Florence learns that bravery isn't about being fearless-it's about helping others, even when you're scared. Filled with wonder, friendship, and gentle humour, this enchanting tale shows children that even the most timid heart can shine brightly.
Complete with a delightful recipe created with children from Girvan Primary School, The Tale of Florence and the King is perfect for shared reading, classroom storytelling, and inspiring young imaginations.
