Children's Book

The Snail's Tale

Arriving Summer 2015 

 

Justa is a small snail who lives at the edge of 
a forest meadow.  Justa's life is quiet, tranquil and

organized.  He has only one problem.  His friends

are always wanting him to go adventuring with them

out into the meadow.  They simply cannot understand

his attachment to his silly old rock.
