The Snow Leopard

By Jackie Morris

A poetic text weaving the spirit of nature into a universal myth for our time.

From the beginning of time, high above the hidden valley, Snow Leopard has sung the stars to life, the sun to rise and the moon to wax and wane. He has woven words of protection to keep the hidden valley safe from the world and as he sings, a child lies dreaming the song down in the valley beneath. But time is passing, and Snow Leopard needs to find a singer who will follow him. But while he is searching, soldiers come looking for gold and slaves . . .

  • Set against the stunning landscapes of the Himalayas.
  • Strong underlying environmental theme.
  • Superlative, stylish artwork by a highly-talented artist renowned for her portrayal of animals.
