"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the
side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a
mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not
appreciate your neutrality." -Archbishop Desmond Tutu Every morning
Desmond the mouse wakes with the sunrise and spends the day playing
in the beautiful meadow where he lives. And every night he goes to
sleep under the starry sky. That is, until one night when he wakes
up and finds an elephant asleep on his tail! Desmond asks for help
from every kind of animal passing by, but no one wants to disturb
the sleeping giant. How will Desmond get free? With Matt Meyer's
thoughtful story and lush watercolour illustrations by artist Khim
Fam, DESMOND GETS FREE introduces young readers to timely and
nuanced concepts of justice and liberation in a kid-friendly and
accessible way. Ages 4-8.
