Description:
On the edge of a small town, there is a wondrous path that winds through the forest to a river, used by a wide variety of people every day. While Clara, who is curious about everything, explores the local animals and plants with a notebook under her arm and a magnifying glass in her hand, Luka, who is full of imagination, discovers a race of mysterious creatures in the forest. Levi, on the other hand, is a music enthusiast who initially has no interest in nature as he walks along the path with his dog Moo. Although the three of them are walking the same path, they perceive it very differently – until an encounter with an injured fox finally brings them together.
The Wondrous Way encourages children to explore their surroundings and the constant changes that occur in them over the course of the seasons with open eyes.
