Cora likes her spot in the Patch. She stands in the sun, keeping to herself. Rune stacks rocks nearby. Tavi talks about whatever comes to mind. When things get a little too close for comfort, Cora brings herself a rope. Cora, Tavi, Rune and a Rope is a quiet story about space, stillness, and what happens when someone wants to be near others without becoming someone else. Told in a calm, folksy voice and carried by simple, symbolic illustrations, this book trusts young readers to notice what isn't said out loud.
