Synopsis

She was the smallest. The quietest. The one nobody believed in.

Until the night everything depended on her.

Adwoa is a little antelope who lives in Savanna Creek. Her brothers call her Tiny Hooves and laugh. The bigger animals look past her like she isn't there. She has never done anything remarkable. She has never been asked to.

Then one night, a leopard returns to Savanna Creek.

The animals in the nesting grounds don't know he is back. Their babies are sleeping. Someone must cross the wide open plain — alone, in the dark — and warn them before it is too late.

The big animals freeze.

The strong animals look away.

And Adwoa — small, quiet, overlooked Adwoa — steps forward.

What happens next will change how she sees herself forever.
