The Wonder of Walt

$29⁹⁹

A battle between ants and ladybirds ends when a whirling worm teaches them to listen.

Description

The ants and ladybugs are preparing for war. The ants blame the ladybugs for eating their building materials. The ladybugs blame the ants for blocking out the sun.

But deep beneath the chaos, without eyes or limbs, Walt the worm feels the vibrations of conflict. Whirling into action, Walt shows both sides the profound power of listening and understanding.

The Wonder of Walt is a thoughtful, vividly illustrated fable about empathy, peaceful conflict resolution, the beauty of being different, and the quiet wisdom of unlikely heroes.
