Plato is a goat of extraordinary speed. He may, in fact, be the fastest goat in all the Peloponnese. Or so he has recently come to believe.

It all started with a playful jest, followed by an ill-considered word of flattery. Then came two lies- one sparked by jealousy, another by greed. Together these four falsehoods send Plato on a journey he will never forget- a journey to the great goat race at Olympia.

By the time Plato returns home, he has learned the importance of honesty and has resolved never to tell anyone a lie.

Linda Talley's poignant story introduces a winning collection of characters, including our deluded hero, a jocular pig, a flamboyant rooster, and a mysterious eagle who descends like an oracle from Zeus to tell Plato the truth.

Artist Itoko Maeno captures Plato's journey in vibrant watercolors- from the olive groves of the Papanopoulos farm to the crumbling ruins of Olympia, site of the ancient Olympic games.

In this age of white lies and casual deceptions, Plato's story will make readers of all ages value the simple truth.
