Ages: 5 and up On a faraway island the animals live in peace and harmony. But when humans arrive the animals are put to work and maltreated. Brought before the court of the spirit king, and charged with spreading fear and pain throughout the island, the humans must answer for their actions. Will justice be had? Will balance return to land, sea, and sky? Will the earth be saved? Find out in this unique retelling of a 1,000 year old animal fable which is an effective teaching tool for anyone wanting to introduce children to the notions of environmental protection, ecology, and the prevention of cruelty towards animals.
