In the not-so-distant future, a hidden valley lies untouched by humankind — surrounded by steep mountains and ancient forests, a place where nature still breathes freely. In its heart rests a quiet lake where a little blue-eyed dragonfly awakens to his first day of life. Newly transformed from a nymph in the water, he marvels at the beauty around him and begins to wonder about his purpose — and what might lie beyond this life on Earth.

A wise grasshopper encourages him to journey across the lake to the great willow tree, where the blind Mantis — a prophet of remarkable insight — may hold the answers he seeks. Along the way, the little dragonfly meets a gluttonous toad, a proud red dragonfly, a vain butterfly, and a hungry yet empathetic bird. Each encounter tests his courage, compassion, and understanding of the world.

When he finally reaches the Mantis, the dragonfly learns that the answers he searched for were never hidden — only waiting to be remembered.

*The Extraordinary Journey of an Ordinary Dragonfly* is a story for every age — simple enough for children to enjoy, yet rich with meaning for anyone who has ever pondered life’s purpose and the light within us all.

An enchanting fable of self-discovery and transformation, it invites readers to reflect on their own paths — reminding us that wisdom often hides in simplicity, and that even the smallest wings can carry the greatest truths.
