Six Blind Mice and an Elephant Hardback
by Jude Daly
Hardback
Description
A warm, inspiring story about the whole being more than the sum of its parts, based on a classic Indian fable. One day a tired old elephant plods out of the forest and falls asleep in a farmer's barn.
Amid the ensuing commotion, six curious blind mice enter the fray: '...
An elephant is like a wall,' says the oldest mouse, as he falls against the elephant's massive, solid side. 'No,' says a younger mouse, touching one of the sharp tusks.'An elephant is like a spear!' A tree... a rope... a snake? Each mouse has his or her own interpretation after touching different parts of the elephant.
But then the huge creature awakes - and only then is the full wonder of his being revealed.
Based on a classic Indian fable, Jude Daly's new picture book, set in the South African countryside, is an inspiring, multi-layered allegory.
