After languishing in a mud bath, a young water buffalo struggles to find his way home in the dark. Can his ears, his instincts and his friend the egret help to guide him? Anna Iles, a Luk Tei Tong resident of two years, wrote (and illustrated) Buffalo’s Long Bath for her son Jacob, 15 months. Through the compelling story, Anna aims to support early child development, encouraging kids, aged 0 to 5, to value friendship and the natural world, and to understand their emotions.
Anna is the author of Jacob and the Dust Sprite, and two books on innovation and design thinking: The Innovation- Friendly Organization and The Brand Strategist’s Guide to Desire. Buffalo’s Long Bath is available at VIBE Book and Music Shop, The Humble Room and Amazon.com. [PHOTO COURTESY OF Anna Iles.]
