✦ Synopsis

A delightful collection of animal tales featuring kind messages and illustrated throughout, these stories are sure to enchant both children and grown-ups alike

From Aesop's Fables to shamanic totems, animals have long been at the center of our imaginative world, providing wise insights. In many tribal cultures, animals underpin the spiritual world and are honored as advisers. This charming collection of bedtime stories features inspiring, funny and enlightening animals from all over the world. 

Here you will find the firefly who can't find his fire, the baby kangaroo who's ashamed he hasn't yet learned to hop and a condor who lives atop a temple at Machu Picchu in Peru and helps to rescue a lost girl. You will also discover amazing legendary creatures including a fire-breathing dragon who just wants a friend and a beautiful unicorn who teaches a spoiled princess the joy of sharing. The stories will not only excite your child's imagination: they also explore issues your child may well encounter in daily life, including coping with shyness and managing change. 'Magical Messages' at the end of each tale help to highlight its positive message.

Designed to be read either by parents to their children or by children on their own, these lovely narratives focus the child's mind and provide a soothing transition into sleep or to give food for thought during daytime reading.
