Snowdrop the Spikeshuffler- Chapter 3

You may already be familiar with our book, Snowdrop: The Spikeshuffler, that tells the story of our very own mascot, Snowdrop the Hedgehog.

Writer Peter Barron Media and illustrator Jonathan Raiseborough Illustration have transformed our Snowdrop: The Spikeshuffler book into an animated audio book in aid of #AutismAcceptance Week 2020!

We hope you’re enjoying our newly adapted Snowdrop: The Spikeshuffler animated audio book as much as we are!

Here is chapter 3: Alone in the World
