Description

Meet Emerald

Emerald is a hopscotch-loving owl who enjoys peaceful afternoons in the meadow with her family.

But one ordinary picnic day turns into something much bigger when Emerald’s favourite ball rolls away… straight into the forest.

Should she follow it into the dark woods?

Should she ask her family for help?

Or will she meet a slightly mischievous leprechaun named Stumpy along the way?

A Special Story Behind Emerald’s Ball

Emerald’s Ball started as a kitchen-table project between Elizabeth and her son when he was in Grade 6.

Years later, as he prepares to graduate high school, that little idea has grown into the book you’re holding now.

Sometimes the best adventures start with a small idea and a curious imagination.
