Moss, The Bike-Riding Mosquito

Moss, a youthful mosquito, breaks female mosquito tradition. She thinks her life calling is to be equipped with the latest gadgetry, and to be the world's best cyclist. She sets out one day on a training ride. Five towns later at eventide, she is suddenly faced with a huge security problem. To solve her problem, Moss is forced to interact with the local people. She is humbled and enriched in the process. The truths that she learns are unforgettable lessons that teach her for the first time the burdens that all bear in life. Written in plain English, and packed into 223 rhyming couplets, the story is a delightful, cross-cultural journey of discovery, fascinating locales and scenery, surprising revelations, humor, pathos, and wisdom. With its colorful images, the rhythm of the couplets in their split-line format, and the imaginative array of people, scenes, and events that unfold, this book offers - as few books do - such a wise yet whimsical, endearing yet down-to-earth view of life.
