The classic Aesop´s fable The Peacock hammers home the idea of being content with what you have – and who you are. The story teaches you what it means to choose pomp and show for the sake of freedom and how you might not always get what you wish for.
Proceeds from the sale of this book help fund the donation of our specially designed children’s books to barbershops in at-risk communities nationwide. DERT’s social mission is to ensure that all children identify as readers by having access to books and being read to on a regular basis. Reading together is vital for all children through their preschool years and beyond. DERT publishes a unique line of books and learning tools designed to engage families in reading through all stages of life.
The Peacock was designed by Kwaku Opoku, a graphic design student from Ghana. Kwaku‘s design concept is based on inspiration drawn from the lively and adventurous nature of animals, interpreted into playful line drawings throughout the book.
