Description

Translated from Spanish with illustrations throughout, Toletis is a uniquely poignant story about nature and friendship, imagination, love and loss.

The trees and grass are disappearing to make way for a new section of road. Toletis, his dog Amenophis, friends Claudia and Tutan are on a mission to find ingenious ways of replacing them and turning their little valley town, set deep in the mountains, lusciously green again. The odds are stacked against them. Can they succeed... with some very unusual help?
