“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. ”

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.
Trevor Noah is a comedian from South Africa and the author of the international bestseller Born a Crime.
Sabina Hahn grew up in Riga, Latvia, and now lives in New York. Ever since she was a child, she has been a voracious reader and an unstoppable doodler, which has led her into the world of children’s books. Her greatest talent lies in conveying the understated humor and tenderness of both daily life and realms of fantasy.

Reviews
“A timely all-ages fable about the power of imagination and how we choose to see the world around us.”—The Washington Post“The story is an illustrated fable about a young boy who journeys into a magical world just beyond his house and discovers the secrets of sharing, connection, and love. 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
