The Little Wren

"In this cosmic fairytale, the extraordinary poet and storyteller Elizabeth Alberda, takes us on a mythic journey from a world at peace, where children are honored and loved, through a dark time of danger, into a shining future where all beings live in harmony. Evocative visual images complement the rich, subtle poetry to create a powerful message of hope for children and adults of all ages.

"The Little Wren is a magical tale about the innocence of a child's heart, wicked forces and the power of nature to support and sustain humankind. The illustrations are beautiful and inspiring. Something to read with your children again and again."

"Adults who love the earth, peace and dreams, will cherish sharing this beautiful poem-story with children. Children, from the most verbally precocious to the pre-verbal, will be deeply touched by The Little Wren's rich sounds, colors, and breath-taking illustrations, which somehow excite and soothe the senses at once.
