Little Helper

A beautifully woven story sharing the Taoist principle of flowing with life's obstacles in order to resolve them

Ah-Fu isn't allowed to help, but maybe he doesn't need permission after all . . . .

It’s a beautiful day in Ah-Fu’s village, and all he wants to do is fly his kite, ride in his grandfather’s oxcart, and have a picnic. But a tangled string, a busy cousin, a fallen tree, and more threaten to ruin Ah-Fu’s chances of enjoying this perfect day with the people he loves.

Can little Ah-Fu come up with creative ways to help his friends and family, or will his plans for a nice day be ruined?

Inspired by traditional Chinese philosophy and told alongside gorgeous illustrations, this modern fable encourages readers of all ages to use inventive problem-solving strategies and lend a helping hand where they can.
