| The Clever Stick |
|
author/illustrator: John Lechner
|
Is it enough for a stick to be sharp if he can’t share his thoughts? A sweet, simple fable about finding one’s voice is sure to inspire creative
minds of all ages. |
| The stick has always been clever: it solves difficult problems, enjoys poetry, and ponders the music of birds and the beauty of a rose. The one thing it can’t do is speak. And because of this, no one can see that the stick is clever; all they can see is a stick. John Lechner, the creator of A Froggy Fable, follows the most unlikely of heroes on a journey of self-discovery, arriving at a place that will surprise and enchant readers everywhere. |
