Résumé

'What will we find in the uncut grass?
'It depends on what we're looking for.'

From the author of the #1 bestselling Born a Crime - in collaboration with visionary artist Christopher Myers - comes a fable about a young child's journey into the world beyond the shadow of home, an enchanted landscape where he discovers the secrets of solidarity, connection, and finding peace with the people we love.

Written for readers of all ages - to be read aloud or read alone - and infused with the author's signature wit and imagination, this gorgeously illustrated tale of adventure and companionship beautifully evokes the rewards of kindness, curiosity, and interdependence in a world of conflict.
