The Tiny Grain of Sand

An original retelling of a classic Taoist tale. Once upon a time, there was a tiny grain of sand. Its life was rather boring, until one day it made a wish. Suddenly the grain of sand found out what it might be like to be something else - but is the grass always greener. This rendition of a classic fable tackles an age-old question: how can you be happy with your lot in a world full of temptation. With bold, contemporary illustrations and a rhythmic and witty text, this book is funny, lively and wise.
