Details
"Orris and Timble: The Beginning" is a heartwarming tale by Kate DiCamillo that introduces readers to Orris, a solitary rat who treasures his quiet life in an old barn. His peace is shattered when a small owl, Timble, becomes ensnared in a trap. Despite the natural enmity between rats and owls, Orris faces an internal dilemma—should he help Timble, as the noble king on his sardine can might advise? The story explores themes of kindness, courage, and the unexpected bonds that can form between unlikely companions. With humor, tenderness, and a deep sense of morality, DiCamillo paints a story about doing the right thing, regardless of the cost, and the power of sharing stories and forming connections. Illustrated in full color by Carmen Mok, this book is the first of a trilogy celebrating friendship and the transformative power of choice.
