What is the best time to do things? Who is the most important one? What is the right thing to do? Nikolai knows that he wants to be the best person he can be, but often he is unsure if he is doing the right thing.
With his stunning watercolours - together with text that resounds with universal truths - award-winning artist Jon J Muth has transformed a story by Tolstoy into a timeless fable for young readers.
