Little Mole Finds Hope

Little Mole feels terribly sad, although he doesn’t quite know why. When Mama asks him about his gloomy disposition, she tells him that his greatest need is hope. This furry creature inquisitively asks what hope is and where it can be found. She tells him it can be discovered in the most unlikely of places and is sometimes hard to distinguish. With nurturing and love, she guides him out of the dim tunnel in which they reside and gently shows him, through nature’s confounding manifestations, that hope lies all around him. What might appear as lifeless in the present may indeed be full of hope and beauty as time progresses and nature performs its glorious works of wonder.

Little Mole Finds Hope is ideal for children who feel a sense of hopelessness and angst. It’s equally suitable for those who are full of optimism and joy and simply find stories of adversity touching. Educators seeking to encourage young students to display empathy toward others as well as to learn to see the sunshine through the darkness will savor this heartwarming story. It will make a great addition to any first to third grade classroom. The precious, detailed illustrations bring meaning and vitality to its content, and the words of wisdom Mama shares with Little Mole are ones from which any child can benefit.
