From a brand-new picture book duo, this is a striking and unique story perfect for little people interested in climate awareness and looking after nature.
McDarkly lives quietly all on his own, growing orchids in his dank swamp, until one day his peace is disturbed by an arrogant king who wants to turn the swamp into a roller-skate park. McDarkly has ten days to prove that the swamp isn't damp and dark, but an enchanted world. Can he do it, or will he risk losing his home forever?
The story follows the adventures of McDarkly, a small and curious creature who lives in a swamp. One day, a king visits the swamp and orders McDarkly to leave because he wants to build a roller-skate park on the land. McDarkly refuses to leave and sets out to prove that the swamp is not only damp and dark but also a magical and enchanting place.
McDarkly meets a variety of creatures along the way, including a wise old owl, a mischievous squirrel, and a beautiful butterfly. He also discovers that the swamp is home to a variety of plants and animals that are unique to the area, including a rare species of orchid that only grows there.
As McDarkly explores the swamp, he learns about the importance of protecting nature and the impact that human activities can have on the environment. He also discovers that the swamp is not only a place of beauty but also a source of strength and resilience.
In the end, McDarkly is able to convince the king to leave the swamp alone and to recognize the value of protecting the environment. The story teaches children about the importance of climate awareness and the importance of looking after nature. It also encourages children to be curious and explore the world around them, to discover the hidden wonders that exist in even the most unlikely places.
