Move that Mountain comes from the same creators as the award-winning Room on our Rock. And, like the first volume, this one shows youngsters that there are two sides to every story. When the book is read from beginning to end, the puffins believe that they are too little to help a beached whale get back to the sea. But when the book is read in reverse, the puffins work together to find a way to move that mountainous whale.
With
just 90 words, Kate and Jol Temple take children aged three and over on an
intriguing journey of self-discovery. Simple text ensures that the themes of
determination, teamwork and problem-solving lap gently at readers’ feet like
waves upon a seashore, encouraging kids to dive into a world where even the
smallest person can make a difference.
A
clever and captivating book that is sure to be read again and again, Move that Mountain will inspire the next
generation to fight for what’s right. Physical size doesn’t matter when
kindness and compassion swell your soul.
