Meet Dr. Alfred Adler, a psychologist who started an important educational movement one hundred-years-ago. In this historical piece of fiction, Dr. Adler takes eight children who are competing to be the leader of their school parade on an imaginative field trip through the Cosmos. They follow two rabbits named Peace and Justice through beautiful European towns, past rivers and lakes, a castle, flower-filled fields, an animal sanctuary and even outer space.
While on this trip they meet Si, a superhero pony and a red cardinal named Robin. Along with Dr. Adler, these animals help the children grapple with many themes and feelings including jealousy, fear, and guilt; coping with loss and death; as well as joy and hope. Using poetry, stories and songs, the children brainstorm about how to make the world a better place.
