Manu and the Path That Grew Backward is the fourth journey in the Tales of Niky series-an illustrated, rhyming fable about non-linear thinking, trust in uncertainty, and discovering that sometimes the wrong way is the only way through.
In the Misty Grove, where fog braids between ancient trunks and moss softens every step, Manu walks with maps. He believes in straight lines, marked trails, and solving problems by moving forward. But one morning, the paths begin to change. Trees whisper in reverse. Footprints lead the wrong way.
When a sudden storm unravels his route home, Manu is forced to choose: trust his failing map-or follow a path that leads backward into the mist. Guided by a spiral-shaped fern, a peculiar stone fox, and the rhythm of his own breath, Manu steps into the unknown.
In the Grove, not everything is what it seems. And sometimes, the way ahead... is behind.
