The Slug and the Snail, Hardback Book

The Slug and the Snail Hardback

Illustrated by Olya Anima

Hardback

Description

Drawn from the Irish Traveller storytelling tradition, DeBhairduin’s tale is a gentle allegory about identity, self-acceptance and different ways of seeing the world. Two slugs travel happily together until they meet a crow who asks them where their home is.

The younger brother, embarrassed, makes himself a shell, and calls himself snail.

The older brother carries on as he is. At first, the brothers grow apart. But in time, they learn to respect each other’s way of life.
