REVIEWS:
"The Animal Parables offers a unique look at the endearing world of animals. Martin Day is a gifted guide spinning illuminating stories that will thrill and enlighten the child in all of us." Wayne Jacobsen, Author 'He Loves Me!', 'Live Loved Free Full', collaborator on 'The Shack'

"Over the last two decades I have had the privilege of watching Martin use his artistry and gifts of communication to convey complex material in a way that is easily understood by young and old alike. This lovely book is further evidence of this skill. Cleverly weaving deep issues like self-worth, legalism and personal identity into stories that both touch the heart and make you smile" Jon Rashbrook, Author 'Life As It Could Be'PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
A dog who gets hold of the wrong end of the stick; a horse who beats the odds; a wasp who discovers a sting in the tail. This is the stuff of The Animal Parables. Each tale features an animal who finds that things turn out to be quite different from how they imagined and profound life lessons are learned along the way. In this second edition, there are now twelve life-affirming tales that will delight young minds and leave adults moved to reflection. Through this collection, Martin has re-discovered the power of the parable to layer deeper meanings under the skin of a simple narrative. In doing so, he has created stories that sound on multiple levels. It's like the delight of finding that second tray under the first in a box of chocolates!

These twelve short stories are an average 3095 words long and take between 17 and 26 minutes to read out loud.

This book is also available as paperback and for Kindle and Audiobook, as well as separately as individual short stories.
