When the village faces a sudden threat from invaders, Forri must use his unconventional skills and creative thinking to protect his home. This tale is a wonderful tool for teaching children that intelligence and creativity are powerful forms of bravery.

Parents will appreciate the way it models peaceful conflict resolution and celebrates the quiet hero.
