“An enchanting tale of learning to listen to each other; those we agree with and those we may not. It’s about learning to work together toward compromise and a more harmonious life for all. And the audiobook is narrated by the author, which in my mind is a bonus; so calm and soothing. Like listening to a bedtime story. ”

“Trevor Noah captures the magic and imagination of childhood. Who hasn't fantasized about running away from home instead of cleaning their room?! This is a book for children, parents, and philosophers alike.I listened via Libro.fm and was delighted to (once again) hear Noah tell readers his very unique, very relatable, story. ”

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Born a Crime comes a timeless illustrated story inviting people of all ages to connect with one another in a world brought to life with imagination.
“But sooner or later your mother will find us,” Walter said, looking back at the house. “She always does.”
The boy’s eyes lit up again. He had an idea.
“Then this time we need to go where we’ve never gone before,” he said. “Into the uncut grass!”
In the tradition of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse comes a fable about a young child’s journey into the world beyond the shadow of home, a magical landscape where he discovers the secrets of sharing, connection, and finding peace with the people we love. Infused with the author’s signature wit and imagination, it’s a tale for listeners of all ages—to be read aloud or listened to alone.

It's sure to leave an impact long after you've finished it.”—Oprah Daily
“A fable for everyone (just like The Little Prince) adorned by charming illustrations and filled with Noah’s thoughts on life embedded in the storyline. Lessons will be learned, but gently.”—Parade
“[Trevor] Noah has written a parable about decision-making. As he puts it . . . ‘It’s about disagreements and difference—but it’s also about how we bridge those gaps and find what matters most. . . . It’s a picture book, but it’s not a children’s book. Rather, it is a book for kids to share with parents and for parents to share with kids.”—Kirkus Reviews
