What is Ogre about?

Deep in the swamp, the ogres stomp, shout and tear up trees. But one young ogre is quieter than the rest and wonders whether destruction is really the only way to live. When he meets a brave mother bird protecting her nest, a surprising moment makes him question everything he has been taught. Can he choose kindness and courage, and inspire the other ogres to change? A lively rhyming story about individuality, standing up for what is right and caring for the natural world.
