From two outstanding creators, comes a lyrical text and beautiful artwork celebrating the lives of children in a remote Himalayan village as they make their work into play. Janeen Brian's evocative poems, beautifully illustrated by Anne Spudvilas, reveal how the vital work of children in a remote village can be transformed through the imagination into joyful play. It is a new take on the concept of 'it takes a village to raise a child'. The text is fascinating and evocative, each poem showing what life is like in a Himalayan village for the children living there. The children are intimately involved in the running of the village - but like children all over the world, if given a task to do, they can turn it into play. For children in first world countries, this book is a window into a different kind of life, but there is universality about the chores described that all children can identify with.
Kids will love this hilarious fairy tale adventure packed with clever twists, familiar characters and page-turning fun.
