Little Grey and the Great Mystery

by Rachel Rivett, Dubravka Kolanovic (Illustrator)

Overview

Little Grey wants to know about the Great Mystery at the heart of everything. Grandmother sends Little Grey out into the woodland world to ask the birds and the trees, the stream and the moon - and finally, his own heart. Little Grey discovers that there is love at the heart of all creation and, although creation is earthbound, that love lifts it mysteriously to heaven. This story sparkles - on one level a sweet and simple story of a woodland animal, yet conveying a message of delight in the world around, with reverence for the mystery and the heart of things and with trust in the creator's love.
