About the Book: *The Raven’s Gift*
When Harry's big sister Frankie dies, his world shatters. Looking after the wild ravens nesting outside her window becomes his only way to stay connected to her and avoid being swallowed by grief. When a ferocious storm strikes, Harry must fight for survival and protect an orphaned baby raven. Brought to life by Tom de Freston's dazzling purple and black illustrations, *The Raven’s Gift* is an immersive, deeply poignant story of hope, resilience, and the healing power of the natural world.
