The Other Side of the Rocks (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this picture book inspired by the meditations of the Persian poet Rumi, an adventurous frog leaves her familiar pond, goes beyond the rocks, and returns home-changed. From the moment Froggy was born, she's lived in a familiar world of frogs and fish, surrounded by others who are just like her. But what lies beyond the pond she calls home? Encouraged by her conversations with a wise fish, she decides to take the leap into the unknown. There, she discovers another universe, making friends with creatures she hadn't known before, as well as some that remind her of home. Time passes, and Froggy learns more than she could ever have imagined. And then one day, just as she once felt the call of the unknown, she hears the call of home-to which she returns, but not quite the same frog as when she left.
