The Raven's Song

Zana Fraillon and Bren MacDibble are proud to present to the world our dual narrative children's novel for 10 years upwards, The Raven's Song.

It was an absolute joy to work with Zana on this very special novel containing themes of time, being a good ancestor and focussing on what matters in a difficult world. A wild fun adventure that doesn't shirk from issues but provides hope for young readers.
