Description
In the beginning before time began, the world was alive with possibilities. Animals were people, people could command the wind and the rain, and the sun had the power of speech. Many languages were spoken and stories, carried by the breath of those who spoke them, floated on the wind. But then things changed and the world lost its magic. This book tells a story of wonder and loss and the possibility of redemption.
