    #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For the child in all of us, a timeless illustrated story about connection and compromise brought to life with imagination, from the acclaimed author of Born a Crime
     
    “Whimsical and wise, bursting with quirky characters and clever humor . . . the ideal gift for the new parent (or child-at-heart) in your life.”—Oprah Daily

    “But sooner or later your mother will find us,” Walter said, looking back at the house. “She always does.”

    The boy’s eyes lit up again. He had an idea.

    “Then this time we need to go where we’ve never gone before,” he said. “Into the uncut grass!”

    In the tradition of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse comes a gorgeously illustrated fable about a young child’s journey into the world beyond the shadow of home, a magical landscape where he discovers the secrets of sharing, connection, and finding peace with the people we love. Infused with the author’s signature wit and imagination, in collaboration with visionary artist Sabina Hahn, it’s a tale for readers of all ages—to be read aloud or read alone.
    “A timely all-ages fable about the power of imagination and how we choose to see the world around us.”—The Washington Post

    “Into the Uncut Grass offers fresh perspective on resolving conflicts, encouraging both kids and adults to see beyond their differences and connect on a more meaningful level.”—Essence

    “The story is an illustrated fable about a young boy who journeys into a magical world just beyond his house and discovers the secrets of sharing, connection, and love. It's sure to leave an impact long after you've finished it.”—Oprah Daily

    “A fable for everyone (just like The Little Prince) adorned by charming illustrations and filled with Noah’s thoughts on life embedded in the storyline. Lessons will be learned, but gently.”—Parade

    “[Trevor] Noah has written a parable about decision-making. As he puts it . . . ‘It’s about disagreements and difference—but it’s also about how we bridge those gaps and find what matters most. . . . It’s a picture book, but it’s not a children’s book. Rather, it is a book for kids to share with parents and for parents to share with kids.”—Kirkus Reviews

    “In Into the Uncut Grass, comedian and former The Daily Show host Trevor Noah tells the story of a young child’s journey into an enchanted realm that reveals the secrets of sharing, connection and love. This beautifully illustrated book will take readers of all ages on a magical journey.”—The Root

    “A moving tale about a young boy who embarks on a magical adventure beyond home, discovering the power of connection, sharing, and love. With Trevor Noah’s wit and Sabina Hahn’s artistry, this is a tale to read about and cherish.”—Tertulia

    “Smart, charming, and poignant . . . tells the story of a young boy’s adventure beyond a world he already knows—one where he finds all kinds of lessons that are good for both people who read out loud and people to whom books are read out loud to hear.”—Town & Country, The 60 Must-Read Books of Fall 2024
