From the publisher

A 2015 Foreword INDIES finalist in Picture Books (Children’s) “Kuhlmann’s detailed art will pull in readers who like to see how things fit together, while his message is abundantly clear for everyone.” -Kirkus Reviews Torben Kulhmann’s stunningly illustrated, nearly wordless tale offers a fascinating window into an imaginary, yet hauntingly familiar world under our feet, where a mole suddenly recognizes the precarious balance between progress and preservation. Kulhmann’s open ended text encourages thoughtful exploration into possible solutions, and his delightful endpapers depict a montage of solutions that could very well save the moles’ world and ours.
