The Tiny Thing
written by ellen tarlow | illustrated by lauren stringer
“In this tale of self-expression, kindness, and growth, a mole discovers a dandelion puff while out on a walk and, enchanted, picks it up and takes it home. The small mole, often unseen by other animals, feels a connection with this “tiny thing” and makes an imaginary friend of it, dressing it up and sharing food and secrets. The confidence he gains from this social connection unlocks Mole’s creativity. He goes above ground and uses the beautiful foliage around him to create works of art that attract notice, causing the isolated Mole’s social circle to grow. Tarlow’s heartfelt storytelling is well-matched with Stringer’s cozy, digitally created art... A moving story that looks at how individuals flourish under conditions where they feel secure and seen.”
