The Little Diamond

On the tablecloth stand one hundred and eight bright red diamonds, side by side. One of them feels a strong urge to travel. Come along, let’s go explore the world, it calls to the others. It could be dangerous, they reply. Guests are coming this evening—things will be exciting enough right here, they add.
For a moment, the little diamond feels a pang of fear; after all, setting off on an adventure alone is no easy feat. But then defiance takes over and the diamond slips off the tablecloth.

A beautifully illustrated picture book about bravery and independence.
