The Naming Of Tishkin Silk

Synopsis

Griffin Silk was born on an uncommon day, 29th February. His father thinks he's likely to be an 'uncommon boy', but Griffin is not sure that would be a good thing. Maybe if he was common and ordinary, he wouldn't have to worry about his secret. Griffin lives in a loving home with his father, many colourful sisters and his grandmother, Nell. Until now, all the children have had home schooling, but because his mother has gone away, as has his baby sister, Griffin must attend the local school. Griffin finds school challenging until he meets Princess Layla, who helps him discover the courage to share his secret. A heart-warming, tender junior story about family, love, loss and home.
