What is Mouse, bird, snake, wolf about?
In a world created by the gods, everything seems complete and peaceful—until three curious children discover empty spaces waiting to be filled. Harry, Sue and little Ben use twigs, leaves and stones to make a mouse, a bird and a snake. But when they create a mighty wolf, their imagination takes a dangerous turn. As the new creatures grow stronger, the children and the gods must face a frightening question: can something made be unmade?
