When a dangerous snake enters the safe space of a family, a child and parent have different ideas about how to handle the situation.

When Freya and her siblings spot a snake near where they’re playing, Freya names it Snakey. But her parents worry Snakey will bite someone. Her dad tries to capture it so he can take it far away. Only, that’s much harder to do than he expects. So, to make sure Snakey doesn’t harm anyone, he decides he must take a different approach. One offering a more permanent solution. One that Freya says she’ll never forgive him for.

Told with empathy and honesty, this thought-provoking book explores death, forgiveness and what happens when a child disapproves of something their parent does.
