Into the Uncut Grass by Noah, Trevor

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - For the child in all of us, a timeless illustrated story about connection and compromise brought to life with imagination, from the acclaimed author of Born a Crime

"Whimsical and wise, bursting with quirky characters and clever humor . . . the ideal gift for the new parent (or child-at-heart) in your life."--Oprah Daily

"But sooner or later your mother will find us," Walter said, looking back at the house. "She always does."

The boy's eyes lit up again. He had an idea.

"Then this time we need to go where we've never gone before," he said. "Into the uncut grass!"

In the tradition of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse comes a gorgeously illustrated fable about a young child's journey into the world beyond the shadow of home, a magical landscape where he discovers the secrets of sharing, connection, and finding peace with the people we love. Infused with the author's signature wit and imagination, in collaboration with visionary artist Sabina Hahn, it's a tale for readers of all ages--to be read aloud or read alone.
