Book Nook - Brave Howie and the Terrible Giant

 The kingdom of Snee is in great danger…can anyone save it?


In his debut picture book, Brave Howie and the Terrible Giant, award-winning author Clark Burbidge weaves together a Dr. Seuss style rhyme of bravery, courage, and kindness for parents, grandparents, children, and the young at heart to enjoy together. 

The kingdom of Snee has always been a peaceful and happy place…until a terrible giant shows up. He torments the kingdom and troubles the people. He storms unexpectedly from his lair in the dark swampy forest and destroys their crops, homes, and wagons. The King is desperate and sends out pleas for heroes to end the giant’s reign of terror. Mighty knights and heroes come from near and far, but none can defeat the giant. Then, one day, a smallish, unimpressive boy answers the call for help. Brave Howie certainly does not look like a hero in armor that is a little too large for his small stature, and the people doubt his offer.  Can this unlikely knight defeat the giant? How can one so small make a difference? He is the only one that thinks he has a chance. Join Brave Howie in his dangerous quest into the dark and fearsome swampy forest. Will he succeed or meet his doom?
