Paying tribute to her mother, Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman retells three classic fables for readers and listeners up to 8 and imbues them with her own wit and wisdom. Written in playful rhymed couplets and perfectly paired with Janna Mattia's cinematic watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil illustrations, Portman offers modern versions of "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The Three Little Pigs," and "Country Mouse and City Mouse."
