Story & Pictures by Jacqueline Cooper

When a tiny gnat decides to leave a bull after a long visit, he expects his departure to make a lasting impression. Instead, he discovers that the bull never noticed him at all. With expressive clay characters and gentle humour, this retelling explores self-importance, perspective, and seeing ourselves more clearly.

Set in the Maplebridge Forest world, the story invites young readers to think about humility, confidence, and the surprising lessons hidden inside a timeless fable.
