What to Expect: Learning, growth, self-discovery, love, wisdom, friendship.
In this beautiful story about learning and thriving in a sometimes difficult world, readers will meet a little girl who is curious, open-hearted, and determined—the perfect heroine for an adventure through a magic jungle!
Ary the bird has spent a lifetime learning the wisdom and lessons the magical jungle can teach him. But what good is wisdom if you have no one to share it with? That’s one thing Ary doesn’t know—until, one day, he meets Mimi, a little girl who is lost in the jungle and needs someone wise to guide her safely back to her parents. From which foods to eat to stay healthy and strong, to avoiding dangerous predators, controlling her fears, and learning to trust those who care for her, Ary teaches Mimi everything she needs to know to survive in the jungle—and in life!
Ary, her wise companion, is patient and understanding, and their dialogue will teach readers important lessons about survival, trust, and self-discovery. The story is conveyed entirely through conversations between the characters, and the question-and-answer format is ideal for sparking profound reflection in readers about their own lives and experiences. Bright and colorful digital artwork brings the jungle setting to life, further helping readers imagine themselves in Mimi’s shoes. With its diverse cast of jungle characters and its adventure narrative, Mimi & Ary is the perfect blend of philosophy and entertainment.
