One of Eifrig Publishing's central ideas is that we are all interdependent, all connected, all part of the same great endeavor, and all worthy of respect and opportunity. This book embodies that idea:

The Spirit of the Pond, a vain and selfish entity, wants to preserve his beauty by denying the ancient Tree Spirits his life-giving water in a time of drought.

He discovers that in trying to save himself, he will lose everything he holds dear. In the circle of life, we are all dependent upon the actions and kindness of others.
