A moving story of how a young boy learns to express himself after the death of his mother. Readership level: 10+.
Synopsis
It is six months since Rob's mum died. His dad won't talk about it, so Rob fills a suitcase in his mind with thoughts - the rash on his legs, the bullies at school - and shuts it tight. One day he finds a caged tiger in the woods and with the idea of setting it free, the suitcase begins to open.
