Green Stone

In a cozy world of talking mice, geese, and hyenas, young Bolla's life changes forever when a mysterious envelope arrives at her family's door. Inside is no letter, but a sleepy, long-fingered courier and a pass unlike any other: the Green Stone, a rare invitation to the Grand Ball at the Palace of the Great Rabbit, an honor bestowed once every three years upon those who have enriched the world through science, art, and literature.Chosen to accompany her beloved Auntie Rat on the journey, Bolla sets off in a freshly painted wagon, diary in paw, ready to discover a world far bigger than her family's garden. Along the winding road, she meets an unforgettable cast of characters, a heartsick tailor rooster, a scheming hyena, a loyal donkey, and dozens more, each with secrets, kindnesses, and lessons to share.Green Stone is a richly imagined fable of family, friendship, and the courage to step into the unknown, a story that reminds us that the truest magic is found in the bonds we carry with us on every journey.
