This is a precious story of risk taking, friendship and steadfastness wrapped around Old Testament scripture.
The story’s key character is a fox whose name is Kendu. He dreams of a giant leaf that will take him away from slavery. Escaping slavery is his dream, even though he believes the Wilds outside of his immediate surroundings is frightening and filled with potential peril. He finally discovers a clever way to escape, and he begins his travels determined to find the giant leaf–his way to freedom.
During his journey he discovers and befriends other animals. Each animal brings their own special dreams of the giant leaf and how it will improve or change their unique circumstances.
This lovely tale is brought to life with stunning, colorful and distinctive illustrations that enhance each character, their adventures and surroundings.
If there is a child in your life who will enjoy and cherish a story of adventure, hope, friendship, and love–then choose this book for him or her.
Armchair Interview says: Another book about hope for children.
