But when a devastating fire threatens to consume the village, Toni must summon the courage to save not only his art but also the spirit that unites them all. "Toni, the Little Woodcarver" is a heartwarming tale that celebrates the indomitable spirit of youth and the power of creativity. Johanna Spyri weaves a timeless story of passion, perseverance, and the beauty that can emerge from even the humblest of materials.
