Description

A story for all ages from the author of the #1 bestselling Born a Crime

"What will we find in the uncut grass?"
"It depends on what we're looking for."

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 solidarity, connection, and finding peace with the people we love. Infused with the author's signature wit and imagination, in collaboration with visionary artist Christopher Myers, it's a tale for readers of all ages--to be read aloud or read alone.

About the Author

Trevor Noah is one of the most globally beloved comedians and is perhaps best known as the host of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning The Daily Show on Comedy Central, from 2015 to 2022. Noah's first book, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood, was an instant New York Times bestseller and won the 2017 Thurber Prize for American Humor. Noah's latest comedy special is the 2022 Netflix release I Wish You Would, and he can be seen performing live on his Off the Record world tour.

Critical Reviews

"[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

"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

"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
