"The animals of the forest have assembled to discuss what is the most important thing: is it to have a trunk like an elephant, quills like a porcupine, or a long neck like a giraffe? Naturally, every animal is convinced that its particular trait is the most important one and that everyone should have it. But when the large gatefold pages open they show all the animals with the quills of a porcupine, the long neck of a giraffe, or the trunk of the elephant, and everyone sees that it cannot possibly be right. At last, the wise owl speaks up and helps them understand that the true value lies precisely in their collective 'diversity'. It is that which makes them all unique and essential to harmonious life in the forest. The Most Important Thing received a UNESCO honorable mention for peace and collaboration."--
The animals of the forest have assembled to discuss what is the most important thing. Naturally, every animal is convinced that its particular trait is the most important and that everyone should have it. But when the double pages open to show all the animals with the quills of a porcupine or the trunk of the elephant, everyone agrees that the true importance lies in their collective diversity.
