In the heart of the hot desert lives a little cactus with a big heart. He doesn't want to hurt anyone with his prickly needles-he just wants a friend. But every bird, scorpion, and spider he meets runs away, leaving him sad and lonely. Just when he's about to give up, a porcupine appears and changes everything. Together, they discover that what's on the outside doesn't define who you are inside. A tender, uplifting tale about kindness, acceptance, and the courage to be yourself-perfect for children and the young at heart.

M'Lord Chook is a father of three on the wrong side of fifty that has endured everything his family has thrown at him and come out the other side a stronger man. His interests include martial arts, war-gaming, playing guitar and bass and avoiding his brood like the plague. M'Lord lives in Adelaide, Australia, where he begrudgingly shares his house with his wife and son as well as a multitude of animals including reptiles, fish and dogs.
He is currently in the process of training a tribe of magpies to terrorise the feral children that infest his street.
