The Bat

But it’s not that simple, because the darkness makes everything seem eerie. Grigor’s friend Tolya finds it terribly boring that Grigor now sleeps during the day – until an encounter in the Gnarled Forest unsettles him: what exactly were those ancestors from whom Grigor is descended?

In The Bat, Pascale Osterwalder once again takes us into the world of Grigor and Tolya, who live together in the hollow oak between the Swamp Pond and Gnarled Forest. With her lovingly detailed illustrations and witty rhyming dialogue, she tells a heart-warming story about friendship and the search for one’s own identity.
