Product Details

Synopsis

Everyone knows that as Raweno works, no one is to watch. His is the magical process of creating plants and animals. Yet, for one impatient lump of clay, listening and waiting are qualities reserved for the other, quieter creatures. "Make me now!" becomes the order of the day; it is with this statement that the story begins. For the thing that Raweno despises most is when someone doesnít listen. What will happen when the Creator of all plants and animals comes across such a defiant creature? The resulting consequences are a lesson to be learned by all.
