The Mountain of Anastasia

Publishing January 12th, 2027 | Paperback | 50 pages

The world is a storybook unique to each and every one of us. What could your story be if you lived without fear, loved without limits, and chased your dreams without holding back?

For generations, the villagers at the foot of the Mountain of Anastasia have gathered around the fire and passed down stories of the dangers of the outside world. These stories all get turned upside down when friends Mouse and Bird join their elder, Turtle, on his yearly adventure up the mountain and come face-to-face with the beast from the stories. The critters realize that the outside world may not be as frightening as it seems and set out on a journey of discovery—not only of the mountain but of themselves.

Filled with adventure, heart, and unforgettable woodland friends, The Mountain of Anastasia is a story about looking beyond fear, embracing life’s challenges, and discovering that kindness and friendship can be found in the most unexpected places.
