Book description
A story for all ages from the author of the #1 bestselling Born a Crime "What will we find in the uncut grass?" "It depends on what we're looking for." In the tradition of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse comes a gorgeously illustrated fable about a young child's journey into the world beyond the shadow of home, a magical 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 visionary artist Christopher Myers, it's a tale for readers of all ages — to be read aloud or read alone. Review“A timely all-ages fable about the power of imagination and how we choose to see the world around us.”—The Washington Post “The story is an illustrated fable about a young boy who journeys into a magical world just beyond his house and discovers the secrets of sharing, connection, and love. It's sure to leave an impact long after you've finished it.”—Oprah Daily “In Into the Uncut Grass, comedian and former The Daily Show host Trevor Noah tells the story of a young child’s journey into an enchanted realm that reveals the secrets of sharing, connection and love. This beautifully illustrated book will take readers of all ages on a magical journey.”—The RootAbout the AuthorTrevor Noah is one of the most globally beloved comedians and is perhaps best known as the host of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning The Daily Show on Comedy Central, from 2015 to 2022. Noah's first book, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood, was an instant New York Times bestseller and won the 2017 Thurber Prize for American Humor. Noah's latest comedy special is the 2022 Netflix release I Wish You Would, and he can be seen performing live on his Off the Record world tour.
