Into The Uncut Grass

Gabi's Review

Trevor Noah, renowned author comedian and television host, has once again captured readers' attention with his latest work Into The Uncut Grass. This charming parable for children centres on long view decision-making. Its timeless wisdom is cleverly disguised in an enchanting adventure, bypassing children’s uncanny sixth sense when it comes to sniffing out and rejecting moralising! It’s about disagreements and difference and how we bridge those gaps to find what matters most, whether we’re parents or kids, neighbours, gnomes, or adversaries. Noah ultimately reveals the importance and benefits of finding common ground. 

Beautifully illustrated, the story follows a young boy who rebels against his mother's rules and embarks on a journey with his stuffed bear, Walter. Along the way, they encounter various characters who impart valuable lessons about the consequences of our choices. While the book is intended for children's enjoyment, parents will also appreciate its lovely take on some of life’s big questions.

Publisher's Review 

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

'What will we find in the uncut grass?

'It depends on what we're looking for.'

From the author of the #1 bestselling Born a Crime comes a gorgeously illustrated fable about a young child's journey into the world beyond the shadow of home, an enchanted landscape where he discovers the secrets of solidarity, connection, and finding peace with the people we love.

Infused with the author's signature wit and imagination, in collaboration with masterful artist Sabina Hahn, it's a tale for readers of all ages - to be read aloud or read alone.
