#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For the child in all of us a timeless illustrated story about
connection and compromise brought to life with imagination from the acclaimed author of Born a
Crime “Whimsical and wise bursting with quirky characters and clever humor . . . the ideal
gift for the new parent (or child-at-heart) in your life.”— Oprah Daily “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 gorgeously illustrated 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 in collaboration with visionary artist Sabina Hahn it’s a tale for readers of
all ages—to be read aloud or read alone.
