Animal Olympics & The Stubborn Snowflake (Paperback)

Animal Olympics: When Speedy the rabbit boy is teased at school, Papa Rabbit encourages his sensitive son to prove his ability in the coming animal Olympics. However, Jack Rabbit who started all the trouble, soon discovers that he has a worthy opponent in little Speedy. Marie Cotton's delightful story for children has a very clear message: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again." The Stubborn Snowflake: Akwa, the water drop deep in Mother Ocean, longs for travel and adventure. His wish is granted when he rides on a playful fish, reaches the ocean's surface, is lifted up into the air and meets the world of clouds and breezes. After his transformation into a snowflake, Akwa descends to a window pane and watches a family celebrate Christmas. This beautiful story will appeal to children of all ages, teaching them the life cycle of a raindrop and that there is nothing wrong in having an adventurous spirit and seeking knowledge.
