What the Road Said is the comforting and uplifting children's audiobook from bestselling poet and activist Cleo Wade.

Which way do I go?
That is your choice to make,
said the Road.

But what if I go the wrong way?
The Road curved a little,
almost as if it was giving me a hug, and said,
Do not worry. Sometimes we go the wrong way on our
way to the right way.

It's okay to be afraid or to sometimes wander down the wrong path. Bestselling poet and activist Cleo Wade's What the Road Said encourages us to lead with kindness and curiosity, remembering that the most important thing we can do in life is to keep going.

A Macmillan Audio production from Feiwel & Friends
