Little Steps & The Quest for the 3 Symbols: The Quest for the 3 Symbols, #1
A 3,000-Year-Old Secret, Told entirely in Haiku.
Presented as a long-lost text unearthed from ancient scrolls, Little Steps & The Quest for the 3 Symbols is an epic Egyptian fairy tale told entirely in haiku.
In this unique adventure, every word is a rhythmic brushstroke of magic, providing a "lyrical framework" that makes every page impactful and memorable. One Boy's Journey to Achieve the Impossible Ten-year-old Little Steps yearns for greatness, yet he fears his very name is a curse holding him back. In the mystical age of Pharaoh Hatshepsut, he is called to a legendary task: he must journey the length of the Nile to find and unite the three sacred symbols of power:
- The Staff — To master the balance of the Body
- The Flail — To unlock the balance of the Mind
- The Crook — To embrace the balance of the Emotions
An Extraordinary Fellowship Little Steps does not walk this path alone. He is joined by a crew of unlikely heroes, each bringing a unique strength to the quest:
- Red Brick: A giant from Thebes who provides the physical strength to "step up" to any challenge.
- Axiom: A centaur and master of nonsense who shares ancient wisdom to help the group "wise up".
- Lapis: A young vulture on a journey of identity, helping Little Steps "soar above it all" while staying grounded.
