Bookroo's summary
In a world where letters live on an alphabet tree, a fierce wind threatens to scatter them. To survive, they must unite, forming words and sentences. As they craft a message of peace, they discover the true power of unity and the written word. Can their newfound strength withstand the storm and deliver a message that changes everything?
From the publisher
From beloved Caldecott winning picture book creator Leo Lionni, this fable is about sticking together and sending a message of peace to those in charge. When a fierce wind threatens to blow all the little letters out of the alphabet tree, they must band together in words–and then sentences–to create a message that’s even stronger than the wind: peace on earth. With their newfound knowledge, there’s nothing the letters can’t do in this gentle parable about the power of the written word.
