In a peaceful East Asian valley, two sisters learn that even the tiniest footsteps can lead to the bravest journeys.
When Sumi and Mei's mother suddenly becomes ill and must travel to a faraway hospital, the two sisters find their quiet farming life turned upside down. Determined to be reunited with their parents, they set out across the valley toward the legendary Thunder Mountain-a place whispered about in bedtime stories and village lore.
Their path is filled with challenges they never expected.
But it is also filled with wonder.
Along the way, Sumi and Mei meet new friends, uncover hidden strengths, and discover that the greatest magic in the world is the courage born from love, hope, and the unbreakable bond of family.
Inspired by the timeless storytelling of
George MacDonald, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, J.R.R. Tolkien, and A.A. Milne, this gentle, classic-style tale celebrates resilience, imagination, and the simple beauty of growing up.
Perfect for readers who love The Hobbit, The Land of the Blue Flower, Day Boy and Night Girl, and The Little Prince, this story will enchant families looking for a heartfelt adventure to share.
